How to Make Ricotta Cheese Mixture for Lasagna

Lasagna is a baked Italian dish that consists of pasta, meat sauce and cheeses. Add a ricotta cheese mixture to make your lasagna creamy and smooth. You can assemble the ricotta mixture in just a few minutes, while the lasagna noodles are boiling.

Things You'll Need

• Ricotta cheese
• Eggs
• Italian spices
• Salt
• Pepper
• Large, medium and small bowls
• Wire whisk or fork
• Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Crack the eggs over a small bowl. Use a wire whisk or a fork to beat the eggs until they are frothy on the top.

2. Add the spices to the egg mixture. Beat them in with the whisk or fork. Set the egg mixture aside.

3. Dump the ricotta cheese in a large bowl. Break up the cheese using a spatula or wooden spoon. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the ricotta. Mix the cheeses together with the spoon.

4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the ricotta to taste. Dump the egg mixture over the cheeses. Mix them all together until the egg mixture is completely blended with the cheese mixture.

5. Layer the ricotta cheese mixture in the lasagna. Place a layer of lasagna noodles in the pan. Top the noodles with the ricotta mixture, followed by the meat sauce, and then the mozzarella cheese. Continue to layer the ingredients until they are gone.
