I make a recipe that is very similar to this called Crescent Lasagna. The only differences are I put cooked (and drained) wide egg noodles as the bottom layer under the sauce and I use a 9 x 13 pan. A roll of 8 crescents fits perfectly on top and they cook just right! It is amazing with the pasta in it!!!

I’ve made this recipe half a dozen times to great success. I LOVE this recipe! It’s been a favorite of my boyfriend’s (one of my secret weapons to keep his belly happy). Thanks for sharing it here, I never can remember where I found it.
I’ve skipped the Parmesan on top and not missed it, but he asked me to use it. Also a little minced garlic doesn’t go amiss.

How many of the crescent rolls do you use, I used all 8 and the bottom layer of them seem to be uncooked.
