Yield: Serves 4-6.

Beautiful blend of walnut and garlic flavors. Serve as an appetizer, side dish, or entrée.

Filling:

• 3/4 pound lasagna, cooked al dente
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• Salt to taste
• 2 drops hot pepper sauce, or cayenne pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup whole-milk mozzarella cheese, grated
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup ground walnuts

Cook lasagna noodles until barely done. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir well.

Pesto Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons dried basil
• 1/3 cup ground walnuts
• 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 1 tablespoon minced green onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• Dash of salt
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.

To Assemble:

Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling over each lasagna noodle. Roll up the lasagna end to end (jelly-roll style) and cut each roll-up in half, keeping jelly-roll style. Place cut-side down in a greased baking dish. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons of pesto sauce over each roll-up. Cover tightly with buttered foil and bake at 300 degrees F for 20 minutes.
