LASAGNA ROLL-UPS

1/4 to 1/3 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (16 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Dash cayenne pepper
1-1/4 cups small-curd cottage cheese, drained
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
6 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

In a skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add tomatoes, salt, oregano and cayenne; simmer for 10 minutes. Spoon half of the meat sauce into a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley and onion powder; spread 1/4 cupful on each noodle. Carefully roll up and place seam side down over meat sauce. Top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Yield: 2 servings
