Layer the Lasagna
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 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce, and then sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with the remaining meat sauce and mozzarella cheese.
