Roasted Red Pepper Lasagna Roll-Ups [Tom]

We received this wonder gift, Roasted Red Pepper lasagna from Don and Silvia.

What to do? Okay, so we went for roll-ups staying with the red pepper theme.

Takes 2 hours from start to serving.

Here we go:

We made 8 Roll-Ups. This may serve 4 peeps - 2 each or serve 8 peeps 1 - each, if you serve something along side and or an appetizer.

June and I enjoyed 1 Roll-Up each accompanied by a side salad. That was enough. It is not a heavy dish, but very fullfilling.

This sauce cooks in 20 to 30 minutes.
