  2. Cook 8 oz lasagna noodles until tender, drain, and rinse in cold water or use oven ready noodles

Cheese Filling

Assembly

  1. Cover bottom of 9x13 baking dish with half noodles to form a single layer. Spread half of the cheese mixture on top off noodles. Next place a single layer of wall to wall sliced mozzarella cheese on top of cheese mixture. Layer next with half of the meat sauce. Repeat layers again starting with noodles.
  2. Bake at 350 uncovered for 45 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
