1 package of lasagna noodles - cooked according to box directions
1 lb ground beef
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
1 small container of ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 tsp.basil
salt and pepper
mozzarella cheese - grated - about 2 cups

Brown ground beef and drain.Combine 1/2 jar of spaghetti sauce with the ground beef. Add in 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese

In a separate dish, combine the ricotta cheese and egg. Add basil and salt and pepper.

Place boiled lasagna noodles on a plate - place 1 tbsp of the cheese mixture on the noodle and spread the length of the noodle. Place 1 -2 tbsp of the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese, top with mozzarella and roll up. Once you have completed this process, place the lasagna rollups in a baking dish. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over each one and also any of the remaining ground beef mixture if you have any leftover. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350.

You can vary this to use in a crockpot by placing the rolls in the crockpot, pouring sauce over each and sprinkling cheese on top. Bake on low for 3 hours or high for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in the crockpot.

Chicken Marinara

Okay - I made this recipe up because I have an overflow of really good marinara sauce in my freezer. My hubby loved this one!

4 skinless chicken breasts - salt and pepper on each side
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 - 1 1/2 cups of good marinara sauce - not spaghetti or pizza - MARINARA!
1 cup Cheddar Cheese - grated

Heat oil in skillet, brown chicken on both sides. Cover and place in a 375 degree oven for approximately 40-45 minutes until done. Take the chicken out and pour the marinara sauce over it, topping with the cheese. Place back into the oven and bake another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

I served it with black-eyed peas, a salad and rolls. It is yummy good!
