Notes
Sometimes I’ll make this in 2 pans with 6 rolls in each. We’ll have one now and freeze the other for another time. Also, depending on the size and shape of your baking dish, all 12 rollups may not fit in your pan so, you may want to use 2 pans. If you have any extra tomato sauce, it can be used over pasta later in the week and also freezes great!

Hi Amy… Just saw you on the Jason show, I always love when you’re on and I have made many of your recipes… Delicious! If I use fresh pesto, how much would you add ? Thanks much!
Hi Pam. I’d use 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh pesto. Thanks for watching me on The Jason Show! -Amy
