All this talk of lasagne has me thinking about baked ricotta again.
I've never made it, but I think baked ricotta was the "lasagna" I used
to love before our favorite pizza palace owner retired and sold his
place.

Since I make my lasagna with a thick layer of ricotta, one of these
days I'm going to stop pretending and just go for it. I'd assemble it
the way I remember it being served at the restaurant: a big square of
baked ricotta with a lasagna noodle wrapped around the cut edges (how
they got it to stay put, I dunno), covered in a meaty red sauce.

Think manicotti! Remember I reminded you a while back about The Frug's
recipe for it. He made (and I have done so too) "crepes". He filled
them with riccota and then topped them with a nice red sauce. Meat
sauce should work well. I really should make manicotti again.

Of something I've never made or the lasagna I make? I've never even
thought about taking a picture of my lasagna! I should do it someday.

Of the kind you're going to make, it sounds interesting.
