Directions:
1. Place a 5-quart Dutch with salted water on the stove and turn the heat to high. Allow the water to boil.

13. Fill each baking dish with eight roll-ups, then cover them with foil.
14. Place the baking dishes inside the freezer.
15. Prepare the oven and preheat to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
16. Add 1 1/2 cup of pasta sauce on top of the roll-ups and spread it evenly. Cover them with foil.
17. Place them inside the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until done.
18. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese over each baking dish. Feel free to add more cheese.
