Italian Layer Recipe

I know, I know. We've declared before we're cutting out starches. Well we do cheat once in awhile (wink) and this is one of our favorite cheat recipes.

1 1/2lb ground hamburger (I use ground turkey meat)
1/4 c. minced onion
1 8oz can of tomato sauce
1 pkg spaghetti sauce mix
8oz pkg sour cream
2 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
8 crescent rolls
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/3 c. parmesan cheese shredded
Cooked pasta (I use Ziti)

Spray 13x9 pan with cooking spray. Layer pasta in pan. In a skillet brown and drain hamburger. Add onion to meat and layer on top of the pasta. Spread tomato sauce over the meat layer and sprinkle with spaghetti sauce mix. Spread sour cream over tomato sauce and layer mozzarella over sour cream. Unroll 8 crescent rolls from package but do not separate. Layer cresecnt rolls on top of sour cream layer, forming a crust. Drizzle crust with butter and parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
