  1. Giada De Laurentiis opened a jar of marinara, dumped the ricotta out
    of a carton and didn't pretend to grate cheese.... mmmmm it looked
    better than good!

    http://tinyurl.com/zpfse I'm going to make something similar to this
    soon, of course I'll eliminate the prosciutto (because I don't like
    it).

    If someone made the fried zucchini for me, I wouldn't turn it down -
    but I don't like to fry.... so although it looked really good too; I
    won't be making it. 😉

    I've made the linked recipe for lasagna rolls several times, we like it.
    The prosciutto is a strong flavor component of the filling, so if you don't
    care for prosciutto you would be right to eliminate it. I like her marinara
    sauce recipe as well. I think you'll enjoy it. Have fun.

    One "sautes" lightly in butter or olive oil (or oil of choice) the
    lightly seasoned & egg and floured thin zucchini slices for zucchini dore.

    Use a seasoned flour if you wish.

    Small whole mushrooms are nice this way also.

    Serve with a dipping sauce. Tartar or aiole is nice but many people
    like a tomato based hot sauce.

    I saw that show and thought 'I'd like to make those'... I've done my
    own version twice and it's delicious but it takes a LOT longer than 25
    minutes to prepare... also, if you use regular ham the taste of it
    kind of disappears - I used stacks of ham and you couldn't even taste
    it!

    Last time I made my own tomato sauce with mushrooms, onion and garlic
    in it and put it in the bottom of the pan, then laid the rolls in it
    and poured white sauce on top. Delicious! The only bad thing was that
    it took me at least two hours to make 20 rolls so we ate dinner very
    late.

  5. Thanks, karen... you're right, it's not fast food!, just quicker - but
    it still looks really good!

    Believe me, it IS good... even DH liked it and he's fussy about 'new'
    foods 🙂 The longest part of the process is cooking the lasagna
    noodles because you can only do them in small batches - the
    box-and-a-half of noodles I had had 20 noodles in them, but I could
    only fit four at a time into my pot or they'd stick to the bottom! And
    I cooked them for ten minutes each according to the box instructions -
    you do the math! But it was all worthwhile in the end, and to make
    sure it was I made two little foil trays to freeze, and a big dish to
    eat...
