Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer 4 lasagna noodles on top, then spread a portion of the ricotta mixture, followed by meat sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers twice more, finishing with a layer of meat sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
