Lasagna Roll-ups!!!

Roll-ups- again from my dear friend Mary Ann!!!! Great for a quick meal!



(A different way to make Lasagna, plus it's easy to freeze in square containers and have several meals....I freeze in zip loc plastic containers and freeze, take out of freezer when ready to use and pop out of plastic dish and put in 6 3/4" x 6 3/4" x 3" deep corning dish and bake until bubbly.)



ingredients:



12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained



1 lb. ground meat, (I use 1/2 & 1/2 hamburg and sweet Italian sausage)



3 cups ricotta cheese



2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese



1/2 cup parmesan cheese



2 jars spaghetti sauce(medium to large size depending if you like a lot or

less sauce)



Brown the meat, drain and cool. While noodles are cooking, mix the cooked meat, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese together.

Lay noodles out flat and spread some of the cheese mixture over length of it...be generous but not to much! (want to be about 2 1/2 to 3" in diameter when finished rolling) Roll up noodle, place seam side down in deep pan which you have spread a little sauce on bottom of, continue with rest of noodles. Lastly, pour sauce over all and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese. Bake for 30 minutes in 350 preheated oven. About two rolls per person depending on person! If freezing some don't bother to cook now, just freeze)



**the best thing about Italian food is you can adjust it to suit you, use any combination of meat or just hamburg, use more or less cheese, or use more or less sauce. Can half recipe if you don't want to freeze any. Have fun and enjoy!
