Pasta Handkerchiefs with Oven Roasted Marinara

 My kids were all off work yesterday so I made them lunch and dinner.  I made this rich, thick, oven roasted marinara sauce.  I put all of the ingredients  in a big pot and roasted it until it condensed. You can do this with any marinara sauce recipe. It is delicious.

 Then I made this wonderful pasta dish.  I bought sheets of pasta and boiled them until al dente.  Then I dipped them in my homemade pesto sauce and placed a scoop of ricotta on one end.

 I mixed the ricotta with some Parmesan, shredded Mozzarella, salt and pepper and some dried oregano.  I put a couple cups of marinara in a heat proof dish and then folded the lasagna in half over the ricotta and placed them overlapping on top of the sauce.

I sprinkled more shredded mozzarella over the top and covered it with foil.  They bake for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees then you uncover them and place them under a broiler just until they start to turn golden.  These were served with garlic bread.

 Then I made hamburger buns.

I fried some chicken and made everyone fried chicken sandwiches with pickles.   Happy kids!
