Spinach and Ricotta Pasta Rolls
Description
Spinach, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan fill the rolled up lasagna noodles, and a bechamel sauce tops the rolls before baking. As a finishing touch, a simple olive oil, onion, diced tomato and fresh basil sauce simmers while the pasta bakes. Delicious!

These are absolutely delicious!! I added a minced clove of garlic to the butter before adding the flour, spices and milk. Gave it a nice amount of garlic. Even the kids liked this one and had seconds!
