    Obviously not a traditional lasagne but some nice twists. I was taught in an Italian family. I noticed when you layered the pasta, you placed the layers all the same direction. To stabilize the filling, I was taught to alternate with vertical and horizontal pasta layers to create a tight weave, so it doesn’t slide apart. I don’t use tomato paste. It adds acid. Leaving it out nullifies the need for sugar. A hearty well balanced sauce should simmer a minimum 3 hours. There’s no acid and the tomatoes become naturally sweet. I like your passion for flavors and techniques. Thanks for sharing.

    Growing up and learning to cook Italian food in an Italian neighborhood included how to enhance the flavor of store bought ricotta cheese. We always added Parm or Romano or both , herbs and an egg. Your addition is a great idea to enhance flavor. I’m a lover of that variety of Boursin cheese. Homemade pasta is best and you don’t have to cut it into strips. Just cut it to fit the pan. Meatballs sausage salad & garlic bread make the best meal.

Keep up the good work.

    Your recipe isn't too different from mine, but my ricotta mix is just ricotta, real parmesan cheese, herbs, S&P, and maybe an egg if it looks too loose. Garlic is a migraine trigger for me, so I use very little of it in the sauce and none in the cheese mixture, but that's a personal modification, not a recommendation. Garlic is delicious and I would add more if I could do so safely.
