My  Lasagna


- 1 package of pre-cooked lasagna noodles (easier then have to boil it)
- 1 jar of spaghetti sauce (I make my own, but why complicate it)
- 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 250 g of thin sliced  low salt ham
- 2 cups of ricotta cheese (optional)

Preparation:

In a large bowl mix the tomato sauce with the ricotta cheese. Set aside.

In the bottom of a baking dish place a layer of the mixture of tomato sauce and ricotta. Top it with a layer of lasagna sheets. Place some sliced ham on top and after, another layer of the tomato/ricotta mixture. Sprinkle some mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Be generous with the mozzarella but gentle with the parmesan. Parmesan cheese can be over powering.
Repeat the procedure until the last layer of lasagna noodles. Top the last layer with the tomato/ricotta. Add mozzarella cheese to cover the top and sprinkle some parmesan cheese.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Temperature and time depends on the oven. Take it out of the oven wen the top is golden brown.

Let it cool for a few minutes then serve.

Tip: if you cut it right after taking out of the oven, it can fall apart. By letting set for a few minutes will help to set the cooking procedure. Not only will be more tasting but more firm.
