  10. Place the sliced mozzarella cheese on top… then repeat the last two steps
  11. On top of the last layer of ricotta spread the shredded mozzarella followed by parmesan (if yours is filled to the top like mine… tuck down the edges a bit to help with the boil over!)
  12. Bake 375 degrees covered with foil and on a cookie sheet for 55 minutes… Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes
  13. Don’t forget to make up some Easy French Bread to go with!!
Sometimes when I know we are going to have a busy week and there won’t be much time to make dinner… I like to make a meal I know I can just throw in the oven and have leftovers for the next night!!!  Lasagna is one of those meals and my family gobbles up this recipe!!

  3. Hi Sandy, it looks good, but I would like to know if you beat the eggs and mix it with the ricotta, or are the eggs hard boiled?
