  • 1  cup garlic-stuffed or pitted green olives
  • 1  cup ricotta cheese

..we also thought the noodles needed help, maybe soak in stock for more flavor. Will try, then check back.

not very flavorful - not enough sauce - no need for 8 lasagna noodles - used garlic stuffed olives & could taste only garlic - will tweak it next time & respond
