SINCE our children left the nest, lasagna has been relegated to company fare since most recipes make enough for a crowd. But then I saw a recipe that rolled lasagna noodles into individual servings, and I adapted my original recipe to this efficient way of preparing it. Now my husband and I enjoy this entree often. -Virginia Foley, Manchester, New Hampshire

Tips:

- To make the lasagna roll-ups ahead of time, assemble them and bake them according to the recipe. Then, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in a 350°F oven until heated through. - If you don't have any ricotta cheese on hand, you can substitute cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Just be sure to drain the cottage cheese or Greek yogurt well before using it. - To make the lasagna roll-ups even lighter, you can use whole wheat lasagna noodles and low-fat cheese. You can also omit the meat sauce and use a vegetable-based sauce instead. - Be sure to use a sharp knife to cut the lasagna noodles. This will help to prevent them from tearing. - If you're short on time, you can use a jarred marinara sauce instead of making your own. Just be sure to choose a sauce that you like the taste of.
