Layer the lasagna
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the cheese mixture, then another layer of sauce. Repeat the layering: another 3 noodles, the rest of the cheese mixture, and more sauce. Top with the remaining noodles, sauce, and finally, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
