I needed to cook more lasagne to be able to cover my pan and get sufficient layers. I need another 4 ounces. The taste was fantastic. Very tasty, light, throughly enjoyed by everyone who tried it. I used sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, so much better than the ordinary dried. I skipped step 1 and 3.

This is excellent. I only had sundried tomatoes in oil so I chopped them up in a hand processor and then added some hot water which worked well. I also used instant lasagne noodles. Didn't quite have enough ricotta so I added a little marscapone. Very popular with the kids [age 3 and 6]. Definitely worth making.
