My absolute favorite dinner is lasagna. I love lasagna. I could eat it all the time.
Seriously, I’m not joking.
The only problem with lasagna is that it’s just *too much* food.
I mean, it’s only The Nerd and me.
So, I wanted to give lasagna rolls a try.
Individually-sized portions ready to eat?
Perfect.
And you can freeze the left overs to reheat for another dinner later.

Pour enough of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish to cover the bottom.
Then, place the lasagna rolls on top of the sauce seam-size down.
