Lasagna is amazing. It’s comforting, cheesy, and always a hit. But let’s be honest, slicing into a big pan of it can turn into a mess real fast. That’s where Lasagna Rolls come in. Instead of dealing with layers sliding everywhere, you get neat, individual portions that are just as delicious (if not better). Plus, they cook up faster and are easier to serve, making them perfect for a weeknight dinner or even a casual dinner party.
This recipe was actually a happy accident. Fatima and I were making lasagna, and she started rolling up the noodles with cheese instead of layering them. At first, I was like, What are you doing?! But then, I figured, why not? And just like that, lasagna rolls were born in our kitchen. They turned out so good, I knew I had to share them. For these lasagna rolls, we used the sweet pepper sauce we featured last week.
