Lasagna Rolls

I don't know if this became of me being very cheap, or just a pet peeve...but i always hated throwing away those extra lasagna noodles i didn't need. I was torn between saving those last 3 noodles in my pantry, for who know how long or just throwing them away...neither option was ideal to me. And then i got thinking, don't worry this isn't a scary story..lol..some of my thoughts do turn out ok! And i was thinking, man i should just roll them up jelly roll style and make them individual. I am sure i am not the first person who has done this, but it was a hit! I used all my noodles..was able to freeze a couple servings and i have a child with allergy's, so i could make the rolls individual to the person even, and it wasn't a pain! This is my recipe.. which honestly isn't one..its just what i threw together..you can adjust to your family's taste,


Lasagna Rolls




















Lasagna Rolls

1 pkg of lasagna noodles
2 jars of sauce
*a tub of ricotta cheese
*a tub of cottage cheese
*1 eggs (great binder)
*4 garlic cloves (i used preminced Jarred)
*2 cups of mozzarella, divided
*1/2 cup of parmigiana cheese, divided
Italian spices to your liking (i use basil, oregano, and some parsley)

Boil noodles to package directions, (while they are boiling you can throw all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and mix it up by hand quickly, only do 1 cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmigiana in the bowl though, i do not like super herby filling so i just sprinkle my herbs in to taste)drain and rinse in cold water (only because this helps with cooling the noodles down so you can handle them sooner) I had to use 2 pans for this recipe..a 9x13 and a 11x7. Pour sauce on the bottom of both pans. start laying out your noodles flat on your counter and laying the filling on a single flat layer..and then roll them up! cover with another layer of sauce and sprinkle with i cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of parmigiana bake at 350 and then enjoy! yum!

I serve them with meatballs on the side in the rest of the sauce you didn't use ..putting meat in the roll up i think would just make them messy.
