Take-out Tuesday, Red & White Lasagna Rolls, “Roll Tide”Rolls!
HH thinks he hates lasagna
He really doesn’t, he just thinks he does…
He loves Spaghetti Cassoulet and Italian Tetrazzini
He loves Meatball Sub Casserole
So when I feel like having a little lasagna, I just disguise it 😎
A little white sauce topped with spinach
and a ricotta mix
Some sprinkles of Fontina
Rock and Roll
He’ll never recognize it now
I’m going to bury these little bundles in a sea of sausage marinara
Just a little extra insurance because I know he loves a meaty sauce
Uh oh, it’s starting to look like lasagna again
It might need a little more disguising~
Shhhh….
He’ll never care once I tell him what this is called~
See the white sauce oozing out of this “not lasagna?” it’s ok to swoon a little…
“What’s for dinner?”
“Oh, you’re going to love it honey, it’s called “Roll Tide” Rolls!  🙂

- Using your fingers top spinach with a dot of ricotta here and there.

- Place 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a prepared 8″ x 8″ baking dish.

- Top each roll with a teaspoon of sauce.

Using both red and white sauce makes this extra smooth and creamy good~

Love your teams spirit and clever disguise with your ‘Roll Tide’ Rolls Jenna! They look like the perfect comfort food with our wintry weather blast 🙂
Oh, Jenna, you come up with the greatest ideas!! I am going to try this dish and make one for my daughter who’s now back to work after having a baby and having a hard time coordinating dinner for the family! Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
Thanks Rosie! comfort food at it’s best 🙂
Whew! Glad the game went well Saturday. Roll Tide.
I shouldn’t look at your yummy Roll Tide Rolls at this time of day close to dinner when I am hungry. Clever ideas for various versions.
Sneaky! Sounds like a great meal and I watched the game with you on Saturday! Let’s just say your game went MUCH better than mine on Sunday:@)
Hi Jenna. I just pinned this. I think it is perfect for smaller batch cooking, and I have just found a great source for homemade ricotta. I am excited to give it a try.

As a TN Vol I am not so sure about the name. 🙂 But I love the idea of rolling; thinking it will be especially nice for packed teen lunches. Have a good day!
ha, sorry 🙂 Yes they would make a great lunch!
Jenna, you have made me want to get in the kitchen and cook. That is no small accomplishment.
ha! this is super easy~ and trust me, there are plenty of times when I don’t want to cook either 🙂
These look great. I love lasagna rolls – they are so esay to serve, and people just gobble them up!
Thanks! And I just remembered I have some in the freezer, dinner’s ready!
Excusing the name (ahem), this dish looks delicious. I have almost everything I need to make this. I think I’ll call it Christmas Lazagna. (It has red and green!) HH would never eat anything named Roll Tide Rolls, especially after last weekend. 🙂
hahahahaha, sorry 🙂 Christmas Lasagna is a great title! Adding the white sauce really made this good~
