Yes, you are correct about the limited ingredients...my Italian Mom always used Riccotta Cheese with eggs,  parsley, some parma cheese or romano cheese, some salt and a tablespoon of sugar. Also, don't forget to put Mozzeralla cheese on top of each layer.  Spray aluminum foil with Pam to prevent sticking to the cheese when baking...this is what I do too, and don't forget to make your own Italian sauce...the jarred type might do in a pinch...but not for me...ha ha
