Introduction

Modified recipe after watching Ellie Krieger video. It did not give measurement for the Ricotta. I used lower fat ingredients. She recommended tomato sauce that did not have more than 500 mg sodium per serving and included olive oil in ingredients. I chose the brand listed as I use homemade sauce.

    Very Good
    Got it in the oven. Smells great. I never layered it in this manner before. I may reduce the amount of pasta next time.
    I tasted the meat mixture and it was great.
