Notes

Layers. Its important that you follow the layers instructions above as it stops the pasta from going dry and allows for an even cook. You can keep it as layers when done and it will be similar to lasagne.
Skip. If using a jar of tomato sauce and not making a hidden veggies sauce, then you can skip straight to step #4.
