Tofu Veggie Lasagna Rolls Ups




As a family of 3, we try to limit the amount of leftovers that we have by only making what is enough for one dinner, and maybe the next day's lunch. 

By doing this it saves money and doesn't waste food. 

Since we enjoy having spaghetti almost every week I decided to attempt lasagna for the first time. It turned out great but by the end we had half a box of uncooked lasagna noodles to use up! 

I would normally make enough to freeze but our freezer right now doesn't seem to want to do its job so that unfortunately was out of the question. 

My husband suggested we have a tofu dinner one night and so I came up with Tofu Veggie Lasagna Roll Ups which turned out extremely good! Especially because I am not a huge fan of tofu's texture! 

If you don't like Tofu or know someone who doesn't, this recipe is for you!

  5. On cutting board, lay 1 cooked and cooled lasagna noodle flat. Using a spoon spread a small amount of sauce from the side closest you to about 1 1/2 inch before noodle ends, because the filling will be pushed to the very end.

  7. Add a few dashes of the basil, thyme and seasoned salt if you wish. The roll the lasagna roll up starting at the side closest to you. Roll as tight as you can to make sure the stuffing doesn't come out.
