Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Layer 4 lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce, then a layer of tomato sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with noodles and remaining meat sauce and tomato sauce on top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
