I love lasagna, but I must admit, with little ones, it can be a bit messy. I figured out a way to make lasagna that wasn’t quite as messy. Introducing, yummy lasagna roll ups!

You will need:

Serves 6 people

• 1 lb ground hamburger
• 2 6 oz cans tomato paste
• 1 pkg thick and zesty spaghetti sauce mix
• 1 can water
• 1 container Daisy cottage cheese
• 4 cups mozzarella cheese
• 12 lasagna noodles (NOT oven ready)

Instructions:

1. Brown 1 lb of hamburger in a skillet. While hamburger is cooking, put on a pot of water to boil. Once water is boiling, add lasagna noodles to water and reduce heat. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Add both cans of tomato paste, spaghetti sauce mix, and can of water to hamburger. Stir together until spaghetti sauce mix has dissolved.
3. Lay out a piece of foil and place noodles on top. Add a layer of cottage cheese to each noodle. Spread across noodle until mostly covered.
4. Add meat mixture to each noodle. Spread evenly. Be sure to leave enough to place on top of each roll before placing in the oven
5. Add mozzarella cheese to each noodle.
6. Roll each noodle and place in a cake pan.
7. Once all 12 noodles have been rolled, place remaining meat mixture on top of each roll. Top it off with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
8. Place in the oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.

I like to add Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layer biscuits to the meal. You can also add parsley flakes to the cottage cheese before spreading on the noodles to add a bit more flavor. Feel free to play around with it to make it your own!
