Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups image

"Carnivores and vegetarians alike are seduced by this rich pasta entrée, which supplies a satisfying serving of vegetables in every portion." I have a series of recipes I got out of what I thought would be a useless magazine full of ho-hum recipes that I was given for free at the Check out stand at my local grocery store. The magazine is called "Dan's real food Spring 2008" Turns out, they are some of the best recipes I have ever come upon. This is one of those recipes.
