"This is a great quick recipe that's meatless and light. You can lighten it even more by using lower fat ingredients. Great for kids to make! This is a microwave recipe, but can be made in the oven. Also, ricotta cheese is easily substituted for the cottage cheese, if you prefer!"

Delicious. I covered it in foil and baked it for 50 minutes instead of microwaving it. Great.

Just finished lasagna rolls....AWESOME!!!!! Added italian sausage, used ricotta cheese, and baked for 50 minutes...together with southern cream-style corn and a salad, perfect meal, and had enough left over for tomorrow. Next time I'll add just a tad bit more seasoning, but great overall....Thanks for dinner made easy!

Wow! I'm NOT one to cook meals in the microwave, but these may have changed my mind. Great recipe for hot summer days. I'd suggest leaving a couple inches at the end of the noodle plain, as when you roll it, the cheese tends to gush forward. My husband liked these better than my "regular" lasagna. I added some mild italian sausage as well. I wasn't sure about the amount of parsley if using dried, so I used about 2 Tsp. Turned out fine. I was surprised how bubbly and cheesy this turned out! Yummmmy! Thanks

These were indeed easy and my kids loved them. I used cottage cheese, but next time I think we will try them with ricotta cheese. I would also like a little more flavor for the filling, but for ease and likeability by kids I give it 5 stars. I assembled these in the morning and then placed in the refrigerator. I then baked them at 350 for 20 minutes.

This is the first time I've made lasagna rolls usually I would make the regular lasagna, but this is such a good idea it seems to be quicker to put together than a lasagna. I put some bolognaise sauce down the middle of each lasagna sheet before rolling them up and then covered them with more of the sauce and grated cheese, and I used ricotta and mozzarella in the filling. Thanks again for a fantastic meal that I can make in advance this is exactly what I have been looking for.....chris
