• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 2 cups shredded chicken

Directions

• Cook noodles according to package directions.
• While noodles are cooking, combine ricotta, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, thyme, and chicken in a food processor, and process until fully mixed. The chicken will be very small and mixed with the cheese, making a filling mixture.
• Spoon the cheese and chicken mixture into a large zipable plastic bag
• Remove noodles from hot water, and snip one tip off the corner of the plastic bag,making a hole that is half an inch or so in diameter. Use it to pipe the filling into your noodles.
• Place filled noodles in an 11 x 7 glass baking dish, cover with Bertolli marinara, top with cheese
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy.
