Serve with garlic bread and green salad. Enjoy!!!!!!!. This is absolutely the BEST lasagne you will ever eat. Ask my brother, Steve Slayton. He will tell you. I have had this recipe since I was a teenager, which I have refined over the years. I guess it is now time to pass it on. It is a little time intensive, but well worth the effort. I usually make this for special occasions or family gatherings.

If you don't like Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese can be substituted. Nanny prefers the cottage cheese, but I like the Ricotta. So I have made it both ways. Either is good.
