olive oil
a few basil leaves for garnish, chopped into thin ribbons.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

9. Cover with another 3 lasagna sheets and push down lightly. Pour some tomato sauce and layer with all the chopped tomato. Scatter some mozzarella.
10. Cover with the last 3 lasagna sheets and push down lightly. Pour on the remaining tomato sauce. Scatter the rest of the mozzarella. drop 4 remaining spoonfuls of ricotta. Top with basil.
11. Lightly drizzle some olive oil to give the top a nice sheen.
