Skinny Lasagna Rolls – Tabler Party of Two

These Skinny Lasagna Rolls taste delicious and are perfect for portion control! I love pasta as much as the next person. But I just can’t eat it often unless I’m willing to gain weight at an alarming pace. And I’m not! That’s why I LOVE this Skinny Lasagna Rolls recipe.
