Spinach Lasagna Rolls

for our february share i made spinach lasagna rolls. i got this recipe from skinnytaste.com. you can click on the site link or look below for their posting. i increased the number of rolls from 9 to 12 for the freezer meals (maybe because i'm eating for two right now so i wanted more food...yea, i'm going to go with that). so that meant increasing the other ingredients a little also.

i did learn that while this is a simple recipe for doing a few meals at a time.....i DO NOT recommend making more than a few recipes in one setting. cooking the noodles is very time consuming for doing that. limit it to 2-4 recipes in one setting. your back and feet will thank you later. :) also, we did not make sure that all the noodles were dry before slapping the filling on them and rolling them up. i think we stopped doing this after the first couple recipes when the back and feet were starting to voice their unhappiness with us.

i will be honest that you all are guinea pigs with this recipe so i hope it worked out well!!
