Notes
Tip from my kitchen: the filled roll-ups are perfect to arrange in the tomato sauce the day before and bake just before serving. Leftovers keep, covered, for about 3 days in the fridge and freeze well too. If you like it extra juicy, spoon a little more tomato sauce over the roll-ups before baking.
