Ricotta Mixture For Lasagna

My ricotta mixture for lasagna is the perfect cheese filling for homemade
lasagna and many other Italian dishes. With a blend of ricotta, Parmesan cheese,
and eggs to hold everything together, this cheese filling bakes beautifully in
any pasta. Add a pinch of salt and fresh basil for flavor, and you're cooking
like a true Italian!
