4) Spoon ¼-1/3 C filling along entire noodle then roll’er up.  Continue with remaining noodles.
5) Spread ½ the jar of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan.  Place lasagna rolls, seam side down in the pan. Pour remaining Alfredo sauce, then marinara and finally the pesto sauce atop rolls.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. 
6) Bake @ 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until parmesan is golden and lasagna rolls are cooked through. Enjoy!

This recipe looks so good! I was looking for an alternative to the usual beef lasagna and can hardly wait to try this. Thank you so much.

Oh I'm so glad! I've done the same thing and it does turn out yummilicious. Hey, noodles, meat and cheese; can any combo go wrong? :) Thanks for posting!

I did not have any spaghetti sauce, so I just used more Alfredo sauce. My family loved it.

Either spaghetti or marinara would work great. Many spaghetti sauces are more hearty and full-flavored so I often choose that route but what ever you have in your pantry is just dandy. :) Thanks for looking! Pixie

Does this recipe call for spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce?
