# Instructions:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with paper towels, then trim the ribboned edges of each noodle for a cleaner fold.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, Asiago, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and fresh basil. Add the eggs and stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Lay each lasagna noodle flat. Evenly spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over the entire surface. Fold the noodles into 2-inch sections, creating small layered bundles.
04 - Arrange the prepared lasagna bundles on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm.
05 - In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a separate bowl, spread out the panko bread crumbs.
