FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, beat butter and Parmesan until creamy. Season with a pinch of pepper.
• Cook fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water, according to package instructions, until al dente, about 12 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of cooking water; drain pasta.

MISSY'S LAZY LASAGNA

Steps:

• 1. Brown the ground turkey and onion, and drain. Then you will cook the noodles accordin to the package. However, before you put them in the pot; break them up. You will want to break them in different shapes, just larger than bite size. Then cook.
• 2. Then I take the sauce and meat and put them in the microwave bowl for a couple of minutes. Once the sauce is heated, you will somewhat layer the noodles like normal lasagna, then layer sauce/meat and then layer cheese. You will repeat this a total of three times. Then top with a nice layer of cheese. You can add a little parsley (my kids do not like so I did not add it this time). Back at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

LAZY-DAY LASAGNA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°. Put the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning in the bowl. Stir with the spoon until mixed.
• Spoon 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce evenly over bottom of the baking dish. Top with 4 of the uncooked lasagna noodles.
• Spread 1 cup of the ricotta cheese mixture over noodles, using the back of the spoon. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
• Spread 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce over mozzarella cheese. Make more layers with 4 lasagna noodles, the rest of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup spaghetti sauce. (Be sure the spaghetti sauce completely covers the noodles.) Sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until lasagna is hot in center and cheese is melted. Use the pot holders to take pan out of oven it will be very hot and heavy. Let lasagna cool for 15 minutes. Cut into 4 rows by 2 rows, using the knife.
