It's really easy. You only have four components: noodles, white
layer (ricotta or cottage cheese mixed with garlic, Parmesan and
parsley flakes), red layer (tomato sauce with ground meat and some
spices/herbs in it) and cheese (Parmesan and Mozzarella). What's so
frustrating about that? I love making it because it's so - I dunno,
orderly or something.
