2 chicken breasts
1 Roma tomato
3 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 c. white wine
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
1 tbsp. basil
Salt & Pepper
1 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese

Boil chicken breasts in separate pan until done, then cut into chunks. In saucepan, combine garlic, cream, wine and spices and cook over low to medium heat. Once it begins to bubble, reduce heat to low and simmer. Slowly add cheese and continuously stir, then add in diced tomato. Mix in chicken and let simmer for three to five minutes.

Toss over some angel hair pasta and that’s it!

Ultimate Spaghetti Sauce Cooking Video

Ricotta cheese mixture (see below)
Box of lasagna (I use the Barilla no-cook lasagna)
Sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese

Cheese mixture:

1 15 oz. container low fat ricotta cheese
2 c mozzarella cheese
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
1 eggs
1 tbsp. parsley flakes

Mix together well.

In a 9 x 13 glass pan, spray the bottom lightly and then add a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Take lasagna piece and spread the cheese mixture on top and lay on the sauce, do this three time to make the bottom layer. Pour sauce on top of the cheese mixture on each layer. Then start the second layer and spread the cheese mixture on top and place on top of sauce of the first layer. Once all three are covered add sauce to each piece of the second layer. Then create a third cheese layer and lay on top of second. This time you will want to use more sauce and cover the entire top of the lasagna. Spread two cups of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. If cheese begins to brown too quickly, add tinfoil to the top and continue baking.

1 tsp. salt

1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. hot Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
1/4 c. chopped green bell pepper
1/4 c. chopped red bell pepper
1/4 c. chopped yellow bell pepper
Mixture of fresh hot peppers

3 tsp. basil
3 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 1/2 tsp. parsley
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3 tsp. sugar (I use raw sugar)
1 tsp. vinegar
1 c. water
Tabasco Sauce

Cook ground beef, sausage, onion, bell peppers, and garlic in large pot (crock pot works well too). Cook until peppers and onions are tender and then add all remaining ingredients. Bring to bubbly plop noise level and then turn on low to simmer for two to three hours.

This is a veggie sauce I made for a friend. After tasting it, I realized that I do prefer mine with meat and the flavors the meat provides. Good nonetheless and definitely usable for Chicken Parmesan!
