Layer the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Repeat the process with another layer of noodles, cheese mixture, and meat sauce. Top with remaining noodles and finish with the rest of the meat sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
