Toss spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning and egg whites until spaghetti is well coated.


Press half of the spaghetti mixture in bottom of pan. Sprinkle with half of the basil. Layer with half of the tomatoes and cheese slices. Press remaining spaghetti mixture on top. Sprinkle with remaining basil. Layer with remaining tomatoes and cheese slices.

Muddy Buddies

9 c Chex cereal 1 c semi-sweet choco chips 1/2 c creamy peanut butter 1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 1 tsp vanilla 1-1/2 c powdered sugar Place cereal in large bowl. Place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in high for 1-1/2 minutes or until mixture is smooth when stirred. Stir in vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring until all pieces are evenly coated. Pour mixture into large plastic bag with powdered sugar; shake until all pieces are coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about 9 cups. Instead of putting this all into a plastic bag like it asks, I have a big "that's a bowl" from tupperware that I put everything into. I put on the lid and shake it. I don't spread it on waxed paper to cool, I just make sure there is enough powdered sugar to cover all the pieces. Then you can transfer it to a clean container for serving.
