Add egg and mix well.
Layer lasagna; tomato sauce, pasta (over lap noodles for a prettier lasagna when you cut it)
alfredo sauce and cheeses then repeat until all pasta is used ending up with alfredo sauce (save some cheese to top it with later, all 3 kinds!!!
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Uncover and top with cheese, return to oven for 10 more minutes until cheese is melted.
Let sit for 15 minutes then cut and top with basil pesto.
I came up with this recipe because my family doesn't like ricotta. These are the cheeses they like, if your family likes another cheese use it! I sometimes use Munster and asiago and I have been known to throw in some cheddar, I just use what I have in the fridge. My husband doesn't like basil pesto or I would add it to one of the layers before cooking it! Use your imagination and have fun. Lasagna is a dish you really can't mess up TOO BAD!!!!!!!
