Don’t you just love lasagna? I mean what isn’t to love about cheese, sauce, Italian meats, spinach and pasta?
I have made traditional lasagna in a casserole dish,I have made mini lasagna like personal lasagna and I have made lasagna rolls so how about a lasagna cake ?
no it isn’t dessert(although mmmmnn maybe I should try that)
lasagna rolled up in a spring form pan
this makes for a gorgeous lasagna and feeds a lot because you are able to cut smaller cake like slices
are you ready for the recipe?
