For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a thin layer of pesto between the ricotta and mozzarella. To prevent the noodles from sticking, lightly coat them with olive oil after draining. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried parsley. To make ahead, assemble the lasagna and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 15-20 minutes to the baking time. Vary the cheese to your liking, try adding some provolone or Monterey Jack!
