Notes

  • Cook a few extra lasagna noodles in case some tear while boiling or rolling.
  • Cook noodles just until al dente so they are easier to roll and do not get too soft while baking.
  • Lay cooked noodles flat on parchment paper or a greased baking sheet so they do not stick together.
  • Do not overfill the noodles or the cheese mixture may squeeze out the sides.
  • Place the roll ups seam-side down to help them stay together.
  • For a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • To add spinach, thaw frozen spinach and squeeze out the liquid before stirring it into the cheese filling.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze assembled roll ups for up to 3 months. Thaw before baking for best results.
