These are very good. I had never tried this with the carrots and mushrooms. I have always used cheese and spinach. Mmmmm Mmmm.

This was a nice twist on ordinary lasagne recipes, although I did make a couple changes. Nothing big, but I added a little bit of tomato sauce to the veggie mixture, just to keep the inside of the rolls moist. I also grated a bit of cheese to sprinkle on top of the whole dish, before throwing it in the over. I particularly liked the carrots in this recipe, they added a nice crunch to the rolls.

I liked the preparation- each roll-up makes a nice serving that's easy to get out of the pan- cutting and scooping lasagna can be messy! Easy to customize as to favorite fillings/flavor. Thanks!
