Behind the scenes, at this virtual cafe, I’ve been in the kitchen brewing a cup of recipes where each meal can be prepared in 15 minutes or less.

This Cheese and Spinach Lasagna Roll recipe is one I had planned to stir into that cup, but after testing it I found it would be a stretch to pull it together in 15 minutes. It takes closer to 20 minutes at a comfortable pace.  

It’s a shame because this recipe is a huge time saver on the back end.

I say that because eating all eight by yourself for dinner isn’t going to happen. And if it does…that’s not healthy. Two is a more realistic amount. That leaves six that can be covered in plastic wrap and stored in the fridge (or freezer).

When I plug those numbers into my grade one math app, it tells me you get three leftover dinners out of the deal. That’s GOLD right there!

And it’s part of the reason why I’m disappointed this recipe won’t make it into the cup. The other part is because they taste super good! The bright side of this story is you get this recipe now!

Frozen chopped broccoli also works well in this recipe if you don’t like spinach. Just squeeze it dry (like you would the spinach) with paper towels before adding it so the rolls won’t be watery.
