I love pasta as much as the next person. But I just can’t eat it often unless I’m willing to gain weight at an alarming pace. And I’m not! That’s why I LOVE this Skinny Lasagna Rolls recipe.
My cute husband, on the other hand, would eat pasta several times a week if I served it that often. Usually I make zucchini pasta, which he tolerates. But recently, I just wanted to bless him with the real deal. This Skinny Lasagna Rolls recipe was simply perfect! He got his pasta, and I got to enjoy it too, but limited my portion to one roll. That’s what I call a win/win!
This recipe is super easy to make, and, if you are cooking for two-four, you’ll have plenty of leftovers. (Or you can freeze half to heat up another day).
