Mock Lasagna Puree Friendly WLS



Ingredients:

Pinch of minced garlic
1/4 tsp Dried italian spice blend
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1 cup Marinara or meat spaghetti sauce
Mozzarella cheese







Mix ricotta, parmesan cheeses, italian spice blend, and minced garlic and spread into the bottom of a small casserole dish.  Spread spaghetti sauce over ricotta cheese, top with mozzarella and bake at 400 degrees until cheese is golden brown and bubbly.   This also works fine in the microwave (heat until mozzarella melts)  but the browned cheese from the oven is sooo yummy. 

This recipe is good for the puree and soft food stages but can be modified for later by adding cooked italian sausage or hamburger to the sauce.  You don't even miss the pasta noodles, really!
