Lasagna Rolls
Sometimes everyday dinner dullness can set in, Kids may love the flavors of a dish but can easily get bored if it’s served to them every week. Lasagna is a classic family meal and by taking the noodles and making individual rolls you have something that looks new and different but still has those familiar flavors.
These Lasagna Rolls are great for prepping and freezing individual portions for dinner for one or a meal at a later date. Just pop it in the oven and dinner is served!
