I had a bit of a problem with the roll-ups holding together while cooking. The ricotta cheese mixture seeped from the pinwheels a bit and the lasagna rolls kinda fell over. I don't know if I had too much sauce, or what exactly caused the problem. The flavor was good, though. It is absolutely a comfort food. I did add a bit more onion, mustard and worchestershire sauce to the sauce, just as a personal taste preference. Hubby and I discussed that spinach could be added to the ricotta mixture, then piped into manicotti shells and baked with the sauce. The cheese sauce would also be wonderful for old-fashioned baked mac and cheese.
