Lasagna Rolls With Black Beans And Spinach

I found this to be a neat way to do lasagna and much easier to serve than trying to cut up pieces of the pasta since each helping is in it's own little roll.

Spoon mixture onto lasagna noodles.

Roll up noodles , jellyroll fashion , beginning at narrow ends.

Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
