Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place 4 lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Add another layer of marinara sauce, followed by 4 more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, another 1/3 of the mozzarella, and more marinara sauce. Finally, top with the last 4 noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
