I looked this up *after* I posted before and found the savory, lasagne
style - which reminded me of a long gone lasagne I used to crave. It
was basically baked ricotta about 2 inches thick, wrapped around the
sides with a single lasagne noodle and topped with meat gravy/ragu
(sauce to us americanos). It was absolutely delicious.

Do you have any pictures of the sweet version?
