Beef, Basil and Goat Cheese Lasagna Roll-Ups

Tidy bundles of pasta and filling are easy to dish out to family and friends. The inclusion of four different cheeses verges on indulgent, but the goat cheese is essential, adding unique flavor and creamy texture. Save any extra meat filling for another use, or simply tuck it in around the rolls. A big green salad, garlic bread and a dry red wine will complete this dinner.
