Today I thought I would share a real fabulous recipe for Florentine Lasagna Roll-Ups. This recipe looks fancy and difficult but it is a piece of cake. Trust me! For those wanting a vegetarian option this is the ticket and a tasty one at that.
I always find it is easier to assemble all of my ingredients ahead of time and have them all measured out in preparation. That way I don’t have to be running all over the kitchen getting the ingredients at the last minute. I also use a “garbage bowl” to throw all the trash in to discard it all at once instead of making endless trips to the trash can. It is a huge time saver.
But onto the recipe for this fabulous entree. Hope you enjoy it as much I enjoy making it and sharing with you.
