This recipe is the result of boredom. I decided to make this on the 31st day of my isolation at home thanks to COVID-19. It’s not much different than lasagna, except that the roll-ups are kind of cute and fun to serve. I made the filling vegetarian, but you could certainly add some meat to the mixture if you want. Make ahead in the morning or the day before and just pop these into the oven to bake when you’re ready to get dinner on the table.
