When leftovers and extras begin to take over your refrigerator its time to get creative with dinner. I doubt any of us like throwing out half-full cartons of milk or uneaten vegetables that are about to go bad, but what can you do about it?

When ChezVCK opened her fridge and found an assortment of items that needed to be used up she got creative and invented lasagna rolls. Finding only 5 lasagna noodles, a half-used carton of ricotta cheese, pesto, marinara, and cheese she knew she didn’t have enough to make an entire lasagna, so she simply tweaked this classic dish to make her ingredients work. She gives step-by-step pictorial instructions on her blog, and even gives us an extra recipe for a tasty salad she prepared as a side dish!

If you need to clean a few things out of the fridge to make room for your Thanksgiving feast, here is your perfect opportunity! Try out these creative lasagna rolls or let us know what inventive dishes you came up with!
