If you have followed Casa de Crews for any length of time, I think you have figured out that growing up, in my family, we have always found comfort, and love with Italian dishes, cooked by my Italian mother.
My mother’s need to love us with good food is something that runs deep in my own soul, as well. I will always ask you if you have had enough, should you come to our table for supper. It’s just what we do.
One of momma’s specialties has always been a hearty pan of comforting lasagna. A dish made one to two days in advance, because “that is just how it’s done.” says mom.
When I was maybe fourteen or fifteen, we used to get these monthly recipe cards in the mail that we added to a box of other recipe cards [ahh the days before Pinterest, and Google. I digress] and one month, the featured recipe was for Lasagna Roll-Ups; your standard lasagna recipe but instead of baking in one pan like a casserole, you rolled up each lasagna noodle individually. My mind was blown, ya’ll. I begged, and begged my mom to make these new and crazy lasagna roll-ups for dinner.
Instead of her preparing the new recipe for me, mom asked me to make it for the family since I was the one most excited for these rolls. And so I did just that.
Fifteen years later, and I still make these lasagna rolls for our family, and friends! Over the years I have tweaked this dish, learning to make my own sauce [using Gallo Family Vineyard’s Cabernet Sauvignon [recipe]] and yes, my sauce must be made one day in advance – just like moms. Because that’s just how it is.This dish’s concept may have come from somewhere else ages ago, but it is now my signature dish, and it’s requested several times a year by my family. And since we know I love to feed you with good food, you know that when my flavorful lasagna rolls are requested, my heart is be-yond full with happiness.
Now that I’m an adult making these lasagna rolls, I like to pair a bottle of Gallo Family Vineyards Merlot to share with our dinner guests. Gallo Family’s Merlot is so smooth and approachable. Its fruit flavor matches very well with these lasagna rolls in all their saucy goodness.
A chilled glass of Gallo Family’s Chardonnay with a light appetizer before dinner is a definite must! Find a Gallo retailer near you with their store locator.

Hey Nichole! Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe, you know what I have never tasted or made lasagna rolls! This recipe sounds so good. I will put you amazing recipe up on my list to try new things! Thanks for sharing again!
These look so delicious, and very easy to make, thanks so much for sharing.
I haven’t eaten pasta in a long time but this looks so worth it.
I actually try and avoid pasta as well, but sometimes good food/memories are good for the soul!
Lasagna is one of my all time favorite foods. This recipe looks awesome.
This looks so good I have to try this. The printable recipe is genius.
That’s a wowser of a signature dish!
These look fantastic! I am going to add them to our dinner rotation.
I hope you love them!
Love this idea! My aunt made lasagna rolls once and they were delicious. Great for portion control 🙂
These look wonderful! I loved that your Mom encouraged you to make lasagna rolls! What a great recipe!
Oh your lasagna rolls are so pretty and would be perfect for our next dinner party! I love how simple they are to make too! Pinning and sharing!
It is so cool that your Mom had you make the recipe that you were so interested in! This is my fave way to have my lasagna.
I remember those days of the recipe cards that used to come in the mail. I only wish I had the foresight to have kept them! Your lasagna rolls look so delicious! They’d be a family staple at my house for sure.
These look really delish! Living in Italy, with my picky Italian husband, I learned to make lasagna alla mamma (his not mine!) early on. I’m going try these out and see if my two year old will enjoy them – they are so much prettier then the usual pan lasagna!
These look so good. I have been wanting to try these. I usually make my lasagna in my crockpot.
I love lasagna rollups I did them for the first time with chicken instead of beef and OMG so good. I think I will put that on my menu this week when I go to the store.
My mom and I used to make lasagna roll ups, and I’m wondering if the recipe we used came from one of those sets of cards. Hmm, I have to ask my mom!
You’ll have to let me know what you find out about that recipe – wouldn’t it be funny if it were the same one?!
Pasta is my weakness and this pasta seems to be amazing because it has less sauce. Oh the pictures are wonderful.
I could sadly eat pasta every day! But I feel like with roll ups, there is a bit more portion control so I don’t over indulge and they’re so tasty!
Making lasagna is not my speciality but you make lasagna rolls look easy to make. Photo is awesome and recipe looks doable. Thanks.
I promise these are SO easy, Patrice! I hope you make them, and enjoy as much as we do! xo
Oh my! This looks amazing. I love making lasagna, but I never thought about making rolls.
I love them like this, because then I can freeze leftovers for later!
Your lasagna rolls look so perfect and delicious!
Thanks, Alida!
Oh these look amazing! It’s fun to be known for a specific dish.
I can see why this lasagna is your signature dish! It looks so good!!!
Thanks, Valerie! They are sooo good
I have yet to make lasagna rolls, but I must! Your photos look amazing and your recipe sounds out of this world!
I hope you make them soon, and love them as much as we do!
I love that you have inherited your love for good food from your mother. Love this recipe!
Me too, Isabel! Food makes the world go ’round – esp in our home 🙂
These are so pretty — and much easier to serve than squares of baked lasagna!!
Thanks, Wendy! And I agree, so much easier for serving.
We love lasagna rolls! My daughter first made them for us too when she was just a teen 🙂 She made shrimp lasagna rolls and we all loved them. This recipe sounds wonderful, Nichole, and your sauce too. I look forward to giving them both a try! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love that your daughter made these for you! I need to try with shrimp – that sounds HEAVENLY!
I love lasagna rolls and yours are spectacular! I can’t wait to test them out on MY family!!!
Thanks, Liz! I hope your family loves them as much as mine does! xo
This is the way I’m making lasagna next time.
I like that it IS lasagna, but a little more portion controlled too 🙂
