EASY LASAGNA ROLL UPS
The Donut Effect. There’s a little something I like to call the “Donut Effect”.
I eat pretty healthy most of the time. I feel like I’m always trying to convince you guys of that since you’ve seen what I post on here, but I really do.
Don’t get me wrong…I treat myself everyday to a little something.
But when I’ve been really watching it for a while I inevitably break down and indulge in something sweet…like a donut.
So good! So I think “Wow that was so good and I didn’t even gain any weight. I actually lost 2 pounds.”
So the next day, I eat four cookies. That probably won’t affect me at all either since the donut didn’t so I won’t even bother weighing myself today.
And even if I did gain weight, I lost weight yesterday so it’s all good.
The next day it’s brownies…but just half a pan…
From there, it’s pretty much a downward spiral.
They are perfectly portioned individual rolls and have all the flavors of a classic lasagna recipe with simple ingredients. Spoon the ricotta mixture down the center.
Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on top.
These are 6 WW points plus and 224 calories per roll. I added one some garlic and Italian seasonings to the mix which shouldn’t change the points.
I used some pasta sauce I had on hand also added one diced chicken breast to add a little protein so if you add that you will need to adjust your points according to those. You could also add some browned ground beef or Italian sausage.
I was amazed that my boys ate the spinach part without even flinching. Of course my husband had just taken them for a round of golf so they were starving! These are a crowd pleaser.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH THESE?
Serve with a green salad and garlic bread.
