Healthy Lasagna Rolls

(If you are using tomato sauce instead of a jar of spaghetti sauce, make sure you season it so it is not too bland. Add salt, Italian Seasoning and garlic and onion powder. My family also loves White Sauce with these but it is definitely not healthy. I will post my garlic bread recipe and white sauce recipe below.)

Here we are with Thursday's recipe. I decided to post it early so that way you can be prepared because you want to do it you know you do! Plus I am working on getting the 3 Week Menu Rotation and Grocery Shopping List ready. This is a great healthy recipe for a main dish. It only has 224 Calories per roll which you can't beat for pasta! I originally got it from The Girl Who Ate Everything, she has fabulous recipes too. I like to serve it with a little side salad and Garlic Bread. Use your French Bread Loaf that you bought from the store, slice it in half and layer is with Garlic Butter, salt and a little bit of Parmesan Cheese. Bake at 350 until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden. Slice/ This meal also freezes really well after it is cooked. Just put them in individual containers and then you can send them in lunches. Enjoy!

White Sauce For Lasagna Rolls

• - 1/4 cup butter
• - 1/2 onion, chopped
• - 1 clove garlic, minced
• - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt
• - 1 cups chicken broth
• - 3/4 cups milk
• - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until tender. Remove from heat and add flour and salt and mix well. Return to heat and slowly add in the chicken broth and milk. Use a whisk to stir until smooth. Add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stir until melted and well combine. Add your basil, oregano and ground pepper. Serve with lasagna rolls! Enjoy

Garlic Bread

- 1 loaf Italian Bread or French Bread

- 5 T. butter softened

- 2 tsp. olive oil (light tasting)

- 3 cloves garlic, chopped

- 1 tsp. oregano

- salt and pepper to taste

- 1 C. shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Cut your loaf in half lengthwise. Mix your butter and olive oil until well combined. Add your garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Using a brush, spread the mixture onto both halves of your bread. Broil on low until the edges start to brown (check OFTEN because it can burn fast). Remove and add mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and continue cooking until cheese is melted. Slice and enjoy!
