I know that lately I have been on a grilling rampage so I’d thought I’d throw a little oven action in here too. Because well, when it’s not 15008+ degrees outside here in Texas it does thunderstorm so I don’t have access to my best friend (aka the grill) which means its oven time babe!

I’m since the grill is my “best friend” I need to give her a name,what do you think about that? I use to name my cars… Bestie the Banana and Rhonda the Redhead.

So I saw this awesome recipe the other day for Lasagna Rolls by Gina @ Skinny Tasteand have been swooning over them ever since I pinned them!

What per-say are Lasagna Rolls you ask? Well, let me tell you.

They are lasagna noodles that are rolled up with all your favorite lasagna ingredients in the middle and surrounded on all sides with rich tomato sauce and cheese then baked to perfection!

I have NEVER been a fan of lasagna. It always felt super heavy on my tummy afterwards and took FOREVER to make!

I have officially converted after making this recipe and if you were a lasagna hater like me I know you will convert too.

This Skinny Vegetable Lasagna Recipe does take some prep work but it is well worth it after you taste it. It is light, full of healthy natural flavor, SOOOOO much less cheese, and down right delicious.

When I made this I fit about 9-10 lasagna rolls in one 13×9 inch pan.

Well, I had cooked a whole box of lasagna noodles and there are 20 in a package… sooo I made the full 20 rolls and dropped off the other 10 rolls at our neighbors house.

Again… yes I know… You wish you were my neighbor! 🙂 They loved it!! She has two young boys so I sent her a text message telling her it was Vegetarian and packed with 4 different kinds of vegetables. {any momma would be happy to hear that} 🙂

Hope you enjoy this Skinny version of Lasagna as much as we do!
