1 (15-16-ounce) container part-skim ricotta

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/4 cups grated mozzarella (about 9 ounces), divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces), divided

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lasagna turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

The microwave cooking method made this lasagna a bit dry. I think I would try baking it in the oven next time.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and Italian seasoning next time.
