I’ve wanted to try these rolls for some time in lieu of a standard pan Lasagna and they didn’t dissapoint.ย They would be really great to serve at a buffet, such tidy little bundles.
I based my recipe on several that I found…picking and choosing until I had, what I think, is the perfect combination!ย I didn’t add any meat and you certainly could…I just didn’t want to drown out any of the flavor of that yummy homemade ricotta.
The rolls are set on top of a creamy bechamel, the same basic recipe I used in my Baked Ziti…When served, be sure and gather up some of the bechamel on the bottom of the pan! ย (I forgot and most of it was left over…ugh!).
