Spaghetti à la Lasagne

I appreciate a good lasagne but hate the work and time involved — precooking the noodles, layering the dish, and baking it for an hour. So I came up with this uncomplicated spaghetti recipe which combines all the elements of a good lasagne without the trouble.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan. (Or do this at the last minute in a microwave for 1 minute.)
Step 2
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, ricotta, and Parmesan in a small mixing bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 4
When the pasta is done, drain it and return it to the pot, off the heat. Add the spaghetti sauce and toss well.
Step 5
Ladle the pasta and sauce into deep bowls, and top each portion with a dollop of the ricotta mixture.
