Variation

Improvise! Use plain lasagna noodles for the whole wheat noodles.

Special Touch

Garnish the lasagna rolls with chopped fresh parsley.

Success

Thawed frozen spinach has the miraculous capacity to hold water even when you drain it in a colander. Squeezing the spinach, as you would ring out a washcloth, is the best way to rid it of the excess water that may make recipes too watery. If you don’t want to use your bare hands to squeeze it, try using several layers of sturdy, high-quality paper towels.
