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.
Vodka sauce lasagna, in roll ups, is now a family favorite!

Notes
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
