Lasagna roll ups
You can use a jar of spagatti sauce and combined with the meat for easier sauce but I like to make mine from scratch.
Meat sauce :
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 t. salt
4 t. pepper
2 whole cloves
1/2 bay leaf
2 (6 0z ) can tomatoes (I can my own from are garden)
2 ( 6 oz) can tomato paste
1 1/4 cup water
1 t. oregano leafs
2 t. sugar
Brown beef in large skillet, add onions, garlic, and seasonings. Add tomatoes, paste, water oregano, and sugar, Simmer 1/2 hour stirring occasionally.
Filling:
2 lb. ricotta cheese
1 8 oz package of frozen chopped spinach well drained
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
1/2 t, ground nutmeg
1/4 lbs. mozzarella cheese
4 T. parmesian cheese
1 t. fresh parsley
Mix well
1 lbs. Lasagne noodles
Cook and drain noodles under warm water. I found out stacking them on wax paper to avoid them sticking to each other. spread about 1/4 cup filling on each noodle. Fold over and continue to fold making a slighty flat roll. Spread about 1 cup of the sauce on the bottom of 2 11x7 baking dish. Fits about 8 rolls per pan standing with open sides up and down. add 1/2 cup hot water and meat souse to almost covering the roll. Put aside extra sauce, bake at 350 35 minutes serve with left over sauce makes 16 roll ups. Italian makes for great left overs ,,
