I think that there is a fair bit of salt in cheese @Shaz51@Former-Member. Can you just omit it? Or substitute something else. Maybe there is a low salt cheese available. Not sure.
I made a vegetable lasagne for dinner with sweet potato, zucchini and ricotta. Just added a bit of cheese on the top.

Main thing is to put the sauce in the hot pan with the pasta @Shaz51 and serve immediately. It can be a fizzer.
