Boil lasagna noodles if boxed or can use uncooked if fresh. In large

Bake at 350 for 4560min to heat through. (Cover with foil most of time).

Jill's variation: Brown Italian sausage or ground beef (seasoned with
Italian spices) and add to sauce before simmering for the 2 hrs. Adds great
flavor and makes it a meat lasagna. Also, can add some spinach to the
ricotta mixture to make it a florentine type lasagna.
