PASTA ROLL-UPS (RICOTTA & FETA CHEESE)

Pasta Roll-ups (Ricotta & Feta cheese) image

For company or for family this recipe goes over well - I like it because you can make it in advance and pop it in the oven 30 minutes before serving- Serve with a green salad and crusty rolls. Make it as spicy or as mild as you like - Uses a ready made pasta sauce or your own favorite. Try other sauces beside tomato -
