"When it comes to comfort food, there's just nothing better than pasta and cheese. Whether you prefer a sausage meat or a vegetarian lasagna this recipe makes the most of this classic. If you chose a sausage lasagna brown 1/2 to 3/4 pound Italian sausage meat, add in the sauce then simmer for about 20 minutes, you can even add some into the cheese mixture, in that case brown 1 1/4 pounds of Italian sausage or more if you like. Use for the recipe in place of the meatless spaghetti. I use my own recipe that I keep made up in freezer containers. Please be aware that all amounts listed are only a guideline you can go ahead and increase/decrease to suit you taste. Prep time does not include cooking noodles. This will make two very large servings or 3 smaller. To save time mix up your ricotta mixture 1-2 days ahead cover tightly and refrigerate. Photo showing unbaked."

I halved the recipe and used a small square ramekin dish and did four layers of pasta (I used fresh pasta) and did as per recipe and thoroughly enjoyed with a simple garden salad and a slice of garlic/herb bread. Thank you Kittencal , made for Alphabet Soup tag game.
