Enjoy my mini spinach lasagna roll ups! They are easy to make and are a hit for family gatherings and potlucks.  Lasagna originated in Italy during the Middle Ages and have traditionally been ascribed to the city of Naples. The first recorded recipe was set down in the early 14th-century.

Can I freeze Mini Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups

Lasagna roll ups can be frozen. I recommend to assemble and immediately freeze. Do not bake first. When you are ready to bake, defrost in the fridge 24 hours before. Bake at 375 degrees for 70 minutes.

They can also be refrigerated for 1-2 days before baking. Just cover tightly and bake at 375 degrees for 60 minutes.

What else can I add to Lasagna Roll Ups

There are many options to add flavors to lasagna roll ups but they need to be small enough to roll up. Try olives, fresh basil, grilled mushrooms, chopped grilled zucchini and chopped grilled green or red pepper.
