Here's something you might like. Roll the pasta out as thin as possible, to
the highest number. When making the last topping sheet, take one ultrathin
sheet, lay washed and dried fresh herb leaves on it and lay another sheet
over, then run it through the roller one last time. Put that on the top of
the lasagna. It's gorgeous.
