Try Lasagna Rolls to Change It Up

I was never much of a comic book reader as a kid, but I did love Garfield. As a chubby, lazy kid with a cynical sense of humor, perhaps I could relate to him on some level. Or maybe it was because we shared the same favorite food: Lasagna. It was, and still is, one of my favorite meals.
Unfortunately, lasagna isn't one of those meals you make for one, or even two, so it hasn't been on the menu much since I moved away from home. Determined to make a more compact version, I tried a couple different approaches including making it in a loaf pan, but these individual rolls strike the perfect balance of sauce to noodle, and they don't get soggy like the ones made in a casserole dish. Best of all, they're super easy to serve as they're already portioned, and you don't have to worry about a structural failure as you transport a piece from the pan to a plate.
These Lasagna rolls still take a fair amount of work, especially if you plan to start by making a proper bolognese, but if you already have some sauce on hand (or head to the store and buy some), these can be put together in about thirty minutes. If you don't have two hours to make my Bolognese, my easy meat sauce recipe can be made in about thirty minutes, making this a one hour meal, perfect for a Sunday supper.
