Surfing the internet a while ago the name of this recipe certainly grabbed my attention! I'm a huge fan of lasagna, but putting it in soup well that I wasn't really convinced about! However, I found it so intriguing that I just had to try it! Well and am I glad I did! It even tastes like lasagna! The bow ties with the curl edges give the effect of the lasagna sheets and the ricotta and mozzarella are so similar to the taste of béchamel sauce in lasagna. This makes a huge amount so would easily feed 6 people. A real hearty meal in itself.
