What's a girl to do with some sauce she made earlier in the week and the thought of eating pasta one more time as appealing as neon Zubaz?? Find a new recipe, that's what!
With a can of Biscuits, some ricotta and that sauce I actually came up with something Bella loved and had seconds of (!).

Pasta Sauce - Either use a jar or your own
1 lb ground beef or turkey
Palmful of garlic salt
Palmful of Italian seasoning
Palmful of Ground black pepper
Filling:
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
½ cup Ricotta (or you could use cottage cheese)
1 tablespoon parsley – fresh or dried
½ teaspoon dried minced onion
½ teaspoon dried basil
Couple of palmfuls of grated Parmesan cheese
1 can of canned biscuits – use the large variety
DIRECTIONS
