Ingredients:

  • christina's lasagna roll-ups, recipe follows
  • christina's meatballs, recipe follows
  • 1 (10-oz) box frozen peas
  • 4 (1/8-inch thick) pats butter

Directions:

  1. Special equipment: 4 ovenproof TV dinner trays or 4 (8 by 8-inch) disposable aluminum baking pans; heavy-duty aluminum foil
  2. If using a disposable baking pan, fold up several layers of heavy-duty foil to create 2-inch wide strips. Fit the strips into the baking pan to form 1 large and 2 smaller compartments.
  3. Spoon 1/4 cup of the Lasagna Roll-Up sauce into the large compartment of each tray. Put 2 roll-ups and 3 meatballs over the sauce in each tray. Spoon remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  4. Divide the frozen peas among 1 of the remaining compartments in each tray and top with a pat of butter. Put a piece of brownie dough in each of the remaining compartments. Cover the trays tightly with aluminum foil and freeze until ready to use, up to 3 months.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  6. Let dinners stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Uncover the brownie compartment and bake dinners until heated through, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately.
  7. Christina's Lasagna Roll-Ups:
  8. 8 lasagna noodles
  9. 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  10. 2 cups prepared marinara sauce
  11. 1 teaspoon dried basil
  12. 1 cup chopped frozen spinach, defrosted and drained
  13. Garlic salt, for seasoning spinach
  14. 1 cup ricotta cheese
  15. 8 ounces sliced provolone, torn into 1-inch strips
  16. 8 ounces prosciutto, cut into small pieces
  17. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  18. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and pat dry.
  19. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the marinara sauce and basil and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  20. Spread 2 tablespoons of spinach across 1 end of a lasagna noodle, about 1-inch from the edge. Sprinkle with a little garlic salt. Spread 2 tablespoons of ricotta over the spinach. Arrange about 1/8 of the provolone over the spinach and top with 1/8 of the prosciutto. Roll up the noodle around the filling. Repeat with remaining noodles and filling.
  21. If making Christina's TV Dinners, proceed according to that recipe. Otherwise, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread half of the sauce in a shallow baking dish and set the roll-ups on top. Spoon the remaining sauce over the roll-ups and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
