What wine should I serve with my creamy lasagna rollups?

I am having company and am new at this wine thing, so I was hoping you could help me. I am serving an herby lasagna roll-up recipe that has lots of fresh veggies, no meat and ricotta/mozzarella along with pasta inside of it. It has a somewhat strong herb (basil, oregano, etc…) cream & mozzarella cheese sauce. What wine would you recommend? White or red, and any particular suggestions that you think will go well with it? Any ideas for the meal as far as appetizers are fine too, but I really need to know about the wine mostly.
I want to clarify that it’s not a marinara sauce at all, it’s a cream sauce. It does have fresh tomatoes as one of the ingredients, but it’s not your typical lasagna. It’s not "tomatoey" at all! 
I would get a bottle of each color. I would suggest a Chardonnay for white and a Cabernet Sauvignon for the red. I have found that red wine drinkers, will drink red wine whether they are eating fish or red meat and vice versa. What I mean is, a lot of people prefer the taste of the wine rather than match it to a food. I really dont think it matters what the food is. If you get a bottle of each color, you will be making everyone happy. The people who want to match the wine with their food can do so, and people who want to drink red or white wine because that is what they prefer will also be happy. Good Luck.
P.S. That lasagna roll up sounds YUMMY!!
