With a 1 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or glass dipped in cold water cut into rounds and arrange them in a buttered 9 inch pan or dish in one layer, overlapping circles sligh- tly.

1/2 medium onion, chopped

4 tablesp. grated parmesan

14 oz. jar Marinara Sauce

Place wire shelf in position 1. Preheat oven on BAKE at 350°F. Oil a 7 x 11 x 1 1/5 inch pan. Lay 4 noodles in pan, overlapping slightly. Spread 1/2 of ricotta mix- ture, then 1/2 of meat sauce over noodles. Sprinkle with 1/2 of mozzarella and 2 tablesp. parmesan chee- se. Repeat layers with 4 noodles, remaining ricotta mix- ture, meat sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. Bake 25 minutes or until bubbling hot.

BARBEQUED RIBS

Convection FAN/BAKE 300°F. Then BROIL

1 1/2 - 2 lbs. back ribs cut in 2-rib portions

1/2 teasp. salt ● 1/4 teasp. ground ginger

1/3 cup water or beer

1 teasp. prepared mustard

1/4 teasp. garlic salt or 1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup bottled BBQ sauce

2 tablesp. soy sauce

Place wire shelf in position 1 and preheat oven on FAN/BAKE at 300°F. Line shallow pan with foil (do not allow to overhang pan.) Add ribs, bone side up, salt and water or beer. Cover ribs with foil, tucking in on all sides. Place pan in oven and FAN/BAKE 20 minutes. Meanwhile make sauce by combining remaining ingre- dients in a small saucepan and simmer 5 minutes.

Remove pan from oven carefully, uncover ribs and drain off all liquid. Turn oven to BROIL; brush ribs with sauce and return to oven, leaving door open to stop position.

Turn and brush ribs every 10 minutes for 30 minutes or until nicely browned and tender. If ribs brown too quickly, turn oven to 350°F with door closed for addi- tional time until they are tender.
