Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a layer of meat sauce, followed by three lasagna noodles, then half of the ricotta mixture, a third of the mozzarella, and another layer of meat sauce. Repeat this process, finishing with noodles, remaining sauce, and topping with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
