Layer the Lasagna
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the meat sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining noodles, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake the Lasagna
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
