We really enjoyed this recipe! I used Paul Newman's Sockarooi Sauce and fresh spinach, basil, oregano and mozzarella cheese from the farmer's market. To make the roll-ups I placed the noodles on paper towels side-by-side in a few layers with a paper towel in between, spread and sprinkled like for "regular lasagne" then grabbed the end of each noodle and rolled it up. This way I didn't have to "aim"! Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

I actually had quite some fun with this recipe. My stove went out in the middle of cooking the noodles(I have/had a really old stove) So I had to do most of the cooking via microwave. It still turned out fantastic. I used sausage instead of hamburger and used fresh spinach instead of bagged...it turned out wonderful. I think ricotta cheese is the best in this recipe..I made a batch with cottage cheese and one with ricotta and the one with ricotta tasted much better. Thanks for the fantastic recipe...will be used again!
