IMHO ricotta or mozzarella have no place in a lasagna. I know that there are as many recipes for Lasagnas as there are Fiats and scooters in Italia, but I'm more or less sticking to the more traditional Lasagne pasticciate.
You sound just like a friend of mine.

Does the top layer stay the same, or get reversed?
  1. Sauce in bottom of the pan.
  2. Noodles.
  3. Ricotta, mixed with egg, seasonings, and mozz.
  4. Meat
  5. Sauce
  6. Noodles
Repeat steps 3-6 as necessary. Top with sauce and cheese.
