the bottle vigorously. Add the bottle of tomatoey water. Stir through and cook
for another 10 minutes.
Add the salt/pepper/oregano and parsley, and stir

Beat the six eggs, Spoon a layer of sauce on the bottom of
the baking dish. Cover the sauce with a light covering of the egg.
Top with a
couple of handfuls of the combined cheeses. Lay the lasagne sheets over the top.
Repeat layering until you get to the last layer.
With the last layer use
slightly more sauce than usual, twice as much egg and twice as much cheese to
top off.
The more cheese the thicker the crust on top. Place in oven
and bake for approximately 75 minutes.
Check that the top is dark and put a skewer
or sharp knife through the middle. If this comes out clean then it is cooked.
