Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups

Recently I was caught up in the Italian food cooking frenzy! As a result, my family got to treat your taste buds with some great gourmet-style food right at home. This spinach and mushroom stuffed lasagna rolls particularly got a lot of praise. The simple filling has an elegance which mingles with the overtly tangy marinara sauce to create a lip-smacking affair. The gooey melted cheese adds to its splendor! So give a fresh new twist to the traditional dish by serving the lasagna as roll-ups and make them more fun to eat!
