My wonderful cousin Kelli, owner of Kelli's Catering in Largo, FL. shared with me her simple and delicious lasagna techniques that I am going to "borrow" from her now and forever. I'm delighted to share them and I'm sure she won't mind that I am giving her catering business some "props."
Ingredients:
- Delicious Sauce (See here the Sauce Ingredients and Directions)
- Ricotta Cheese
- Mozzarella Cheese, grated
- Flat, no boil lasagna noodles
- Fresh Basil
- Parmesan Cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
To Make:
Follow the instructions above for the sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, add the entire 1 quart container of ricotta cheese and season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Add in 5 handfuls of mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of fresh basil.
To assemble:
In a lasagna pan, spoon several ladles of sauce. Taking the UNCOOKED noodles, begin spreading the ricotta cheese onto the noodles and laying the noodles on top of the sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese and then another layer of sauce and repeat until your lasagna pan is filled up.
Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for about 45min. Remove from oven, remove foil, top with fresh mozzarella and broil for another 3-5 min to get the top brown.
Garnish with fresh basil on top.

This is SO MUCH easier than boiling noodles and then burning yourself and trying to spread ricotta cheese onto soft noodles... it's almost impossible. Check this out, you won't regret it!
