SPINACH PASTA ROLLS
This recipe goes back years, and I make it quite often still, it is wonderful to serve for a dinner party. I make this dish using recipe#136292, make the sauce a day ahead to save time, also saute the spinach and garlic well in advance to save time. Although I am a garlic-lover I have to say that this is one of those very few recipes that I suggest not to use more than 2 teaspoons minced garlic otherwise it will overpower all the other ingredients. Also if you want, omit the mozzeralla cheese in the filling, and just sprinkle it on top, but I like it better with it added. You can double the complete recipe to make 16 lasagna rolls, and bake it in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, I strongly suggest you double the recipe, these are so good!
