Breakthrough Eats: Lasagna Rollups

Cheesy Veggie Lasagna Rollups

Cheesy Veggie Lasagna Rollups

Veggies, veggies, veggies!  Personally, I love ‘em, but I know that not everyone does…especially kids.  I’ve heard from so many parents that fitting vegetables into their kids’ diet can be a daunting task. So how do you do it?  Hide them? Slather them in butter and cheese to make them more appealing?  Try this delicious recipe for veggie lasagna rollups and I doubt you will see anyone picking out the vegetables!

OK, so this is not the quickest of recipes, but it’s easy and delicious. I rely on making more of it so that I have leftovers for a few more meals! The alternate filling with spinach is quicker and easier because you don’t need to cook any of it, so I will usually use that one.

Not only does this recipe qualify for “Meatless Mondays,” but if you’re trying to be more health conscious, you can use part-skim ricotta and mozzarella to cut down on the fat. Another plus? When I originally found this recipe, I read that you can freeze it in the baking dish and just thaw the day before you want to bake it…so I guess you could also double the recipe and then make an extra dish of it to freeze for next time, which is what I will be doing next time I make it!
