Instructions
- 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.

- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy.
