Easy Bolognese Lasagna Rolls… it’s what’s for dinner.
Being married to an Italian has its perks. I mean yeah.. I might be a little biased, but he’s so dang caaaauuteeee. He’s also super sweet and comes from an amazing family. My father-in-law grew up in Italy and my Mother-in-law in Paris, so let’s just say they are incredibly diverse and know what good food is all about. Our family dinners consist of amazing food, delicious wine, and hilarious topics of conversation.
Alessandro and his dad, Luciano, are the bread monster’s around the house. Don’t even think about forgetting to grab a few baguette’s at the store or you’re in bigggggg trouble.
Pasta is not only super quick and easy to prepare, but it’s also a budget friendly meal with so many fun ways to switch it up.
You only want to cook your Lasagna noodles until right before they become al dente, since they will also be cooking in the oven. You don’t want your cute rolls to fall apart! Try boiling for about 6 minutes or so, and place them onto wax or parchment paper to dry.
Once you roll em up with cheese and sauce, don’t forget to top with remaining cheese and sauce, cover and bake for first half. Remove foil and bake uncovered until tops start to brown. Cheesy deliciousness right before your eyes- now that is comfort food!
