Baked Spinach & Ricotta, Lasagna Rolls with Beef Marinara
These are my answer to stuffed shells. I don't have the patience to stuff shells, I just rolled up the same thing that you would put into stuffed shells, into lasagna noodles. I baked them with this very hearty and flavorful bolognese marinara. It seems a little bit lighter than traditional lasagna and it is delicious! I guarantee you will enjoy it as much as my family did.
