1 egg
16 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

- In the baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce, then top with noodles.

Notes
Use Italian sausage instead of chicken for extra spice.
Swap gluten-free pasta with traditional lasagna noodles if preferred.
Add spinach or sautéed mushrooms between layers for added veggies.
Make it dairy-free by using plant-based ricotta and mozzarella.
Try a blend of marinara and Alfredo sauce for a creamy twist.
