Submitted by Jill Hess

1 Roll = 224 calories and 6 WW Points Plus (adjust if you add chicken)
Ingredients
9 lasagna noodles, cooked
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained
1 (15 ounce) container fat free ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings
salt and fresh pepper
(optional) 1 chicken breast, cooked and diced
32 oz tomato sauce (I used spaghetti sauce)
9 Tablespoons part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded 

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Make sure you drain the spinach well. Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, Italian seasonings, chicken, and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour about 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry by patting them with a paper towel. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over a noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.

Ladle sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 Tablespoon of mozzarella cheese. Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts. Makes 9 rolls.
To serve, ladle a little sauce on the plate and top with lasagna roll.

TOMATOES…TOMATOES…TOMATOES
Half as many as last year…
…only 239

We will be planting this next Monday
May 23rd
6:30pm
(crazy weather permitting)

There will be a lot of digging again from the rows to the water pipe
So bring your shovels

We have some bean seed to plant but the logistics for that still needs to be discussed
The pumpkin seeds have not sprouted so we will not be planting them in the garden yet


The Hancey’s thought it would be fun to bring some grills out to the garden and everyone could bring some hot dogs and buns, we would provide the condiments, and we could grill up some food and fun
(If you are inclined to bring your grill would you let Melinda LeCheminant know?)

I think that is all so come out and have some fun
