cook noodles until al dente and dry thoroughly.

add tomatoes and paste,some water and stir. add a little sugar,stir and simmer,uncovered,for about 30 minutes. add some salt-to taste. No spaghetti sauce from a jar.
combine a lb. or more ricotta with raw eggs,2, a package of cooked frozen spinach,thoroughly drained, some grated parmesan cheese- from an italian shop,and a dash of nutmeg.
layer a lasagna pan with sauce, lasagna noodles,a layer of ricotta mixture, some grated fresh mozzarella cheese,add another layer of noodles, ricotta, parmesan and mozzarella, sauce and top with parmesan. cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes or more,if more layers of noodles were used.remove foil and bake five more minutes.
