  • Add garlic powder and Italian Seasoning; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

  • Reduce heat to medium low. Stir in Vidalia onion paste, cheese roux concentrate, and ½ cup water (¾ cup for 8). Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

4
  • While filling cools, halve lasagna noodles widthwise (you’ll make 10 smaller noodles; 20 smaller noodles for 8 servings).

  • Spread ½ cup marinara (1 cup for 8) in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (for 8, divide sauce and roll-ups between two baking dishes).

  • Place one noodle on a work surface with a short side facing you; spread with 2 heaping TBSP filling, leaving a ½-inch border. Starting with a short side, gently roll up (don’t roll too tightly; filling might come out the sides!).

  • Place roll-up, seam side down, on top of marinara in baking dish. Repeat assembly with remaining noodles and filling.

5
  • Pour remaining marinara evenly over roll-ups, spreading to cover. Sprinkle with mozzarella.

  • Tightly cover baking dish with foil; bake on top rack for 20 minutes (for 8 servings, bake on top and middle racks).

  • Carefully remove foil. Return to top rack and bake until cheese begins to brown and noodles are tender, 5-8 minutes more.

6
  • Meanwhile, place baguette slices on a baking sheet. Top with a large drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake on middle rack until lightly browned and toasted, 5-8 minutes (for 8 servings, you may need to toast the crostini after the roll-ups are done baking. Don’t worry, the roll-ups will stay hot!).

  • In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, chives, lemon zest, and juice from remaining lemon wedges. Season with salt and pepper.
