Easy Roll-Up Cannelloni
So here is my first recipe for the blog. This recipe came out of my Family Fun magazine. It was easy to make and it was a nice change from eating lasagna.

1 lb hamburger
1 small onion diced
1 large garlic clove
1 c. cottage cheese or ricotta
1 cup mozzarella
1/2 frozen peas (optional)
1 egg
1 tsp basil
salt & pepper to taste
1 package no-boil lasagna pasta (Barilla brand)
1 jar spaghetti sauce or make your own

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a frying pan brown hamburger, onion & garlic and then when done transfer to a bowl. Then add to the meat mixture cottage cheese, mozzarella, peas, egg, basil and salt & pepper. While the hamburger is browning get a pot of water boiling and salt water and then cook the lasagna noodles for 2-3 mins in the boiling water. When done lay them out on a clean towel. Then take your baking pan 9x13 and spread some of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom. Then take your cooked pasta and put some filling in and roll them up. Place in your pan and finishing using up the pasta and filling till pan is full. Then put the rest of the spaghetti sauce on top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover pan with tin fold and bake for 20 mins then uncover pan and bake 10 mins longer. Serve with some garlic bread & vegetable.
