Lasagna Roll-ups with Chunky Meat Sauce

Connie Veneracion
Except for the far prettier look, what has lasagna roll-ups got over the usual layered kind? If served for a crowd, the roll-ups are less messy. One rolled lasagna per person and there’s no need to cut through the layers of pasta, meat, sauce and cheese. The serving dish doesn’t look like a typhoon had gone through it after two persons have cut through and taken their portions.
Is the preparation more involved? Not really. I have to admit though that it can messy. And lifting the rolled and filled noodles to arrange them in the baking dish without anything falling off can give you an adrenalin rush — from fear. I messed up once but, after that, it was smooth sailing.
