We have a very picky eater in our house, Heart. It can sometimes be so tough to get her to eat anything. We recently made these Kid-friendly Spinach Lasagna Rolls and I left out all the spices I knew she wouldn’t like. It was so yummy we all loved it! It’s also so simple to make. Both girls helped me make this one pictured.
We used fresh spinach and then sauteed it on the stove. Drained and patted dry, it tasted just as good if not better than frozen spinach. You can definetly use either type of spinach for this recipe.
We also use marinara sauce, not the Ragu sauce. There is just something about using marinara that makes this taste so much better than Ragu.
