I have to say, since discovering the "roll up" way of making lasagna, I haven't made the traditional layered version. 

 I love how easy, fun and diverse this dish is. Lasagna noodles stuffed with cheese, chicken, mushrooms and spinach, these Alfredo roll ups are rich, creamy and filling.

More into the classic lasagna flavor? Top the ricotta layer off with a meaty red sauce, roll up, top with more sauce, cheese, and bake.

They go great alongside salad or breadsticks. These perfectly portioned packages can even be made the day before and popped in the oven for an easy dinner.  What's not to love?
