Lasagna Roll ups

These are quickly becoming a family favorite (minus child #2.  he won't eat anything with red sauce!)
Another bonus:  you can freeze them!

There are so many variations of these, but I usually take the easy way out and use premade spaghetti sauce...so sue me!  :) If you want something more in depth..scroll to the bottom

9-10 Lasagna noodles
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
2 c. Cottage cheese
1/2 c. Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg (lightly beaten)
2 c. shredded mozarella cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375*
2. Cook the noodles.
3.  Warm up spaghetti sauce
4.  Mix cottage cheese, parmesan cheese and egg together.
5. Spread a small amount of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the pan.  (Trust me.  Do this step!)


Spread cheese mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle.
Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish. 
Top with remaining sauce.

Bake for 30-35 minutes.  Abt. 5 minutes before the dish is finished sprinkle top with mozarella cheese.

Return and finish cooking, until cheese has melted.
