I’ve started training again but this time for a 1/2 marathon. I don’t have a lot of time to commit to a whole marathon right now.
Every Saturday I try to squeeze in a long run, because I have more time that day, and my husband is home to take care of the kids.
Every Friday I like to make some sort of pasta to help with my endurance on my Saturday run. This week I made these Cheesy Zucchini Lasagna Rolls.
They were so good and my kids liked them even more than regular lasagna. They are healthy, simple, delicious, and full of cheesy goodness, flavor.
You need this healthy and scrumptious dinner dish in your life.
Does this recipe freeze well?
I have only made this recipe fresh. However, if you have leftovers and want to freeze them, or even double the recipe and want to freeze it for another night, you definitely could.
Everything should freeze well, but you may need a little more sauce or cheese when you reheat it, because it will sink in to the chicken and noodles a little more.
We also recommend freezing it in an airtight container, to help it stay fresh in the freezer. We suggest eating it within a week or two of making it, for the best results, and best tasting leftovers.
What meat would be good in this recipe?
This recipe doesn’t have meat, however, you could easily add it to the sauce.
I prefer to use, turkey sausage, ground turkey, ground beef, ground chicken, or chicken sausage, and add it to the marinara sauce, when I am making a more hearty dish.
I only use about 1-3/4 of a pound.
