Who said lasagna noodles have to lie flat? This artful interpretation of layered comfort food—with a twist—is what we like to call "casser-roll." —Kali Wraspir, Olympia, Washington

Tip

Draining Lasagna Noodles

To keep lasagna from becoming watery when baking, it's important to drain the noodles well. Here's a good way to do that: Drain and rinse the cooked noodles in a colander. Take each noodle, shake off excess water and lay flat on pieces of waxed paper until most of the water has evaporated.

Medium-Bodied Red Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a medium-bodied red wine such as Chianti, Sangiovese, Malbec or Zinfandel.

This was easy to make, I like this because it was my turn to cook and I got two meals our of it (well actually 3 or four, just my wife and I ). I am just getting back into cooking since I retired and I found this a easy meal, it left time to make salad and make some garlic bread. Next time no Rosemary, instead Sweet Basil, someone mentioned adding mushrooms , I like that idea. BTW the dinner turned out good, on time an hot.

I wasn't sure about the lemon flavoring prior to making this. I tasted the filling before spreading on the noodles. It tasted pretty good, but the end result was that the lemon flavor was out of place in the finished product. I have another roll-up recipe I prefer. If I make this one again, it will be omitting the lemon.

Loved it and the frozen was just as good as the fresh.

This took a little more effort than usual Simple & Delicious recipes but was really good. Next time I'll add fresh mushrooms to the sauce mix & garlic to the cheese mix (I cut this in half & didn't freeze any). Definitely think fresh herbs make a difference, worth the extra effort.

I thought this was not only easy but really tasty. Will make again. I used fresh herbs from the garden and sweet italian sausage.
