Skinny (Vegetarian) Lasagna Rolls

This turned out amazing! Even my husband loved it and he is not a vegetarian. I followed the recipe exactly as stated and it was great. The fun part is you can change up the veggies based on the season. It isn’t heavy either. The recipe calls for mozzarella cheese instead of ricotta which lightens it up. This was also very simple and could be put together quickly. This one is going into my meal rotation. Thanks Primavera Kitchen!
