Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna Rolls
The perfect spinach mushroom lasagna, rolled up into neat bundles. These are easy to plate and delicious to eat.
I love lasagna but I absolutely hate plating it. It’s sloppy when straight out of the oven, proving to be a nightmare to get a pretty and clean serving. It’s really not a big deal but let’s say you want a lasagna that is easier to serve to guests, something that’s not only easy to plate but a safe bet on pleasing the crowd? You want lasagna rolls.
With these you get all of the flavor that is desired, rolled up into a neat little package. Best of all, it is basically pre-portioned and you can create these with your favorite fillings. Whip up a batch for your meat loving friends and another dish for your vegetarian friends. The possibilities are endless.
I made two varieties of lasagna rolls. One was a traditional beef version and the other was loaded with sautéed spinach and baby bella mushrooms.
