Layer the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layering process, ending with noodles and meat sauce on top. Finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
