What happens when you make a casserole dish full of lasagna and you end up with extra noodles? Am I the only one this happens to or are there more out there like me? This happens every time I make lasagna. It. Never. Fails. I always end up with 8-10 extra noodles…and they just wind up sitting in my cabinet until the next time I make a casserole.
I was feeling restless the other day and wanted to do something with the 8 extra ones I had from the last time I attempted to make lasagna. I did lots and lots and lots of research (Google is such a wonderful thing) and came up with soooo many ideas. Did y’all know you could cut these up, top with Parmesan cheese, bake em’ and dip them in marinara sauce to serve as an appetizer? Or what about using them to make a breakfast strata/casserole of sorts?
I loved both of these ideas, however, I was looking to make a dinner out of the ones I had. I wanted to figure out if one box of lasagna noodles could produce 2 different dinners? I’m here to tell y’all….it sure can 😉
The original recipe came from Taste of Homes…however I tweaked things just a tad bit to fit our needs. So the next time you have some extra lasagna noodles, give these babies a try 🙂 You won’t be sorry 😉

Oh yum!! Another Libby 'original' huh? They look amazing…thanks for the ideas and recipe.
This looks absolutely delicious. I would love to make it, soon. This is truly my kind of food.
so delicious! i love the individual rolls!
I must have a much bigger lasagna pan than you do. I'm always wishing I had more noodles 🙂
I could prepare noodles just for your dish though! This looks so attractive.
This looks like a delicious dish. Somehow, I think lasagna type dishes taste even better when they're rolled up. Just became a follower 🙂
I love lasagna, and this recipe looks really good!
Im a new follower.
Thanks!

I don’t see spinach in the list of ingredients. How much did you use?
I apologize. This is one of my older recipes. Thank you for pointing this out. I used a 10 oz. package of frozen spinach, thawed and drained. I have corrected this and added it to the ingredient list.
