How to make Easy Pastry Dough Lasagna:

- Place the first layer of dough over the sauce;
- Add a layer of sauce, followed by ham, cheese, and a dollop of cream cheese/ricotta;
- Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the dish or run out of ingredients;
- Finish the final layer with plenty of mozzarella and a sprinkle of dried oregano;
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until the pasta is tender and the cheese is melted and golden. Enjoy!

You can customize the filling however you like! Try shredded chicken, a hearty meat sauce (Bolognese), or even a four-cheese version. You can even make a dessert version with chocolate and fruit!
