Layer the Lasagna
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, followed by a third of the cheese mixture, a third of the meat sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with meat sauce and topping with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
