3 cups ricotta cheese or cream-style cottage cheese

3 tsp. snipped fresh parsley
8 ounces sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper

Recipe

Cook meat, onion and garlic until meat is done. (I like to brown the meat then put in a food processor until small pieces.) Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil, oregano, fennel seed and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Bring to boil and simmer at least 15 minutes stirring occasionally.

Cook noodles for 10-12 minutes or until tender but still firm. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water. Drain well.

Combine eggs, ricotta or cottage cheese, add parmesean or romano cheese,parsley and salt and pepper to taste.

Layer 1/2 of the cooked noodles in a 2 quart rectangular baking dish. Spread with 1/2 of the cheese filling. Top with 1/2 mozzarella cheese and add meat filling. Repeat layers.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
