However, the bag halves will work just be careful when slicing them in half. 15 ounces ricotta cheese10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained1 clove minced garlic (I usually substitute 1tbps of minced garlic from the jar)2 eggs8 ounces shredded mozzarella16 ounces spaghetti sauce…

I have a feeling here that I’m about to do a knowledge dump over the next few days. Usually that is everything from personal thoughts (yikes watch out for those posts! :O ), cooking, politics, web, general news, and technical helps.
