Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until just al dente — tender but with a slight resistance at the center. Drain, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and lay flat on a sheet of parchment or foil to prevent sticking.

In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg, 1/2 cup Parmesan, nutmeg, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper until smooth and uniform. Set aside.
