Pesto Ross Pizza Rolls
Pizza rolls are a family-favorite, grabbing the attention of kids in the frozen aisle. Full of preservatives, refined carbohydrates and unhealthy fats, pizza rolls aren’t known for their health benefits. Try this healthier version, using wonton wrappers as the pizza roll vessel.
