Most people don’t think of lasagna as a healthy food, but if you make it with whole wheat pasta and light marinara sauce, pack it with Walmart’s “Great for You” Roma tomatoes, and then use one of the best cheeses you can eat…ricotta, the part-skim variety is a smart choice for these perfectly portioned rolls of deliciousness. Using these ingredients make this a healthy and affordable recipe for your family. I’m grateful to work with the folks at Walmart and all of my ingredients were bought in their grocery aisles for only $1.08 per serving! Note: I did use basil from my own basil plant. You can buy your own basil plant at Walmart, too.
As a busy working mom, these yummy lasagna roll ups are so simple, nutritious, and affordable. Bonus: they are kid tested and nutritionist approved! Please try and let me know what you think!
