Add any spices you like, Bay leaves, Italian Seasoning, Onions, Garlic are all good.

Cook the noodles according to package directions. Mix Ricotta Cheese with the egg. Using 1 large casserole or 2 small ones, place a small amount of sauce in the bottom. Add 1/2 of the noodles, then the Ricotta Cheese mixture, then sauce, then Mozzarella Cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with Mozzarella Cheese. At this point the Casserole can be frozen.
