OOPS!!! I promised myself I wasn't going to forget about this or the million of pictures I have taken over in the last month! Sorry guys, will you ever forgive me? To make it up I have this sweet picture of Dylan and an awesome recipe :)
Lasagna Roll Ups:
Yield: 3 servings
3 Lasagna noodles
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced chives
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
24 slices pepperoni
3 slices swiss cheese, cut into thirds
1 cup meatless spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Combine ricotta cheese, chives, oregano and basil; spread 1/4 cup over each noodle to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with pepperoni and swiss cheese. Carefully roll up.
Place seam side down in a greased shallow 1 qt. baking dish; top with spaghetti sauce. Cover and bake at 350* for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
Uncover; sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
I was also thinking you could replace the peperoni with sausage or anything you prefer. It was very tasty! Thanks to my friend Erika York who found this in a 'Taste of Home' magazine. It was created by a military wife, like most of us. Thanks to her!
Next time I do make this I will put another type of cheese of some sort or just add more swiss cheese. Its a very simple recipe too. I had never cooked lasagna noodles before or even did anything like this. It was actually fun, to roll them up. If you have kids that are old enough, they can help spread the cheese or place the meat or even roll them up. (Dylan could care less... watching Mickey Mouse was more important .. ha ha) Please let me know how it came out :)
Here is a pre-picture before it was put into the oven. Once they were taken out, they were eaten!
(obviously you see six of them and not three like the recipe, just double everything)
*i'll keep my butt in gear and post some stuff :)
