This month’s recipe comes from states away, In Colbert Washington. Leslie Brown has made this tasteful, fresh Italian dish for her family for many years. She has passed this dish down to one of her daughters Mallory, who lives in Texas and makes this for many of those hungry college boys. “Not one complaint!” she says. So give it a try and impress your family, friends, or just make it all for yourself!

Directions
Cook noodles as directed on package. Reserve 1/2 cup of meat sauce for the top. In a 13x9 pan, layer 1/4 noodles, 1/4 sauce, 1/4 ricotta, and 1/4 mozzarella. Repeat 3 times.
