Lasagna Rolls

This recipe comes from Dan, who made it for New Year's Eve dinner.  He got it from his friend, Andrea.  Please take a look at it and make any suggestions on how you would make this healthier.

I can say from experience, this is a great comfort food and it reheats wonderfully!

Lasagna Rolls by Andrea

• Cook a package of Lasagna Noodles (you won’t use them all, but some will probably break)

• Dice ½ to 1 cup of green peppers and green onions each

• Brown 1 log of breakfast sausage like Tennessee Pride (Turkey or Less Fat pork work just as good)

• Add 2 bricks of cream cheese (I used less fat) and diced onions and peppers to meat and mix.

• Add part of a jar of marinara to the bottom of a casserole dish
  

• Dollop meat mixture on the end of a noodle and roll

• Add to casserole dish.   

• Drizzle the rest of the marinara over the rest of the rolls. 

• Sprinkle top with 1 package of shredded Mozzarella Cheese (I used skim) and ½ shredded cheddar (more for coloring and appearance when it bakes).

• Cook at 350 Degrees for 30 mins.  Cook longer if premade and refrigerated.

Should make about 16-18 Rolls.

Premakes easily a day ahead and freezes well.

WW points=6 for one roll, 12 for 2 with the lower fat ingredients I used.  I’m sure you could substitute wheat lasagna noodles if it exists.

This is a very vague estimate based off of the information I could plug into Sparks.  Keep in mind this is for an entire box of lasagna noodles, full fat cheddar cheese, and I couldn't match up the sausage as well.
