This recipe makes quite a thick sauce, If thinner sauce is desired, thin with a little water, tomato juice or ketchup,
Can be assembled and frozen. Thaw completely before heating.
Cook lasagna noodles in boiling salted water for 12 minutes or until tender. add a few drops of oil or a dollop of margarine to the water to keep from boiling over.
Rinse and drain.
Arrange a single layer of noodles in the bottom of a 3-quart shallow baking dish sprayed with Pam. Add a sprinkling of Parmesan, spoonfuls of ricotta, pieces of mozzarella and some of the tomato sauce.
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
Sprinkle grated cheddar on top.
Heat oven to 350º. Bake for 30-45 minutes until sauce is bubbly.
