I have made lasagna this way from the first time I made lasagna. There are some people who use cottage cheese rather than ricotta, but it is just not right to me! Grandma W would never forgive me if I didn't make it this way, the true Italian way to her, with ricotta! You can always use the lasagna noodles you don't have to cook if you don't want to boil noodles.
