Sausage Lasagna Roll-Ups

This recipe was really yummy, both my boys and my hubby loved it and I was surprised at how filling it was!  The hubby and I both took leftovers to work the next day!

8-10 whole wheat Lasagna noodles (I used 9 for our family of 4)
1 lb ground Italian Sausage
1 jar alfredo sauce
8 oz cream cheese
salt & pepper

--Boil Noodles according to package directions.  Meanwhile brown sausage.
--In a small bowl combine Alfredo sauce, cream cheese and a dash of salt and pepper.  I warmed my cream cheese in the microwave for about a minute (stirring half way through) just to soften it up a little.
--When the noodles are cooked rinse them in cool water until they are cool enough to handle.
--Add the cooked sausage to the Alfredo/Cream cheese mixture.
--Spoon a few tablespoons of the sausage mixture onto the lasagna noodles and roll them up jelly roll style and place them seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. (I put some alfredo sauce in the bottom of the pan to prevent the noodles from sticking)
--I sprinkled the top of mine with some mozzerella cheese, a little parmesan cheese, and some parsley flakes
--Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until it's heated through and the cheese on top is melted.

I think next time I will add some diced tomatoes and maybe some sliced olives for color, but other than that this dish was delicious!  I'll definitely be making it again!
