Books & Spoons Recipe PORK NECK PASTA ROLLS

I had so much fun with this dish. I had an idea what I wanted to do with the thin, boneless, pork neck slices that I had, and I thought it worked out great. Even though it might look like it takes a lot of effort, in the end, it came together pretty fast. 
I had the marinara ready made in the freezer so that always saves a lot of time and effort.

Set the lasagna pasta into a warm water to soak. 
Mix cottage cheese with a sharp tasting shredded cheese, Italian herbs, and powdered garlic.

Set the slices of meat on top of the pasta.
​
Thin the meat out with your fingers by pushing it towards the edges of the pasta.

Season with salt & pepper

Top the meat with the cheese mixture.

Roll the ingredients into tight rolls, making sure it all stays together.

Set into an oven dish that is brushed with olive oil.

Spoon the marinara sauce on top of the rolls.
Add shredded cheese and Parmesan cheese on the top.

Bake in the oven until the meat is done and the cheese is golden brown.
I baked the dish for an hour on a medium heat, letting it cook slowly, with all the flavors enhancing.

This dish was fun to make and delicious to eat!
It's a great dish to prepare ahead, and then just bake to service. If you want, you can also freeze portions of it to be served later.

I hope you enjoy it. Till next time
~ Cheers!
