Vodka Sauce Lasagna
Does making a layered lasagna intimidate you or feel like so much work? Lasagna Roll Ups take the drudgery out of prepping a tray of lasagna and make it easy and, might I say, even fun. Just top lasagna noodles with cheese, roll up and bake with vodka sauce!
My mom, a true Italian and a Lamborghini (now that's Italian!), always made a tray of lasagna to go with our Thanksgiving turkey dinner. To this day, I always make lasagna at Thanksgiving to honor my mom and keep her memory close to us.
This year I decided to change things up just a bit and made several trays of cheese lasagna roll-ups. let me tell you that I did not anticipate the reaction. Everyone absolutely loved the twist on the traditional lasagna and the younger generation, thirteen kids 8 years old and under, thought that these easy lasagna roll-ups were so much fun!
Needless to say, these pasta roll ups will be our new tradition from now on.
I changed up the sauce for today's lasagna recipe and gave this cheese lasagna roll-ups recipe a face lift with vodka sauce. Perfect for your Meatless Monday, your Sunday Supper, your weeknight dinner and fancy enough for entertaining!

Nutrition
Should the noodles be very al dente before putting in the oven? Excited to try this!
Hi Kelly, I cook my lasagna noodles to al dente according to the pacage directions. You don't have to undercook the noodles. They'll be fine going into the oven at a basic al dente texture. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by Swirls and Happy Cooking, GG
