2. Lay one noodle at a time until bottom of pan has one continuous layer of noodles.
3. *Spoon meat mixture on noodles. Gently spread.
4. Lay one noodle at a time until you cover meat mixture.
5. Spoon ricotta mixture on noodles. Gently spread.
6. Lay one noodle at a time until you cover ricotta mixture.
7. Repeat from * until your pan is full.
8. Spoon any remaining meat mixture and ricotta mixture on top.

Bake:
at 375 degrees for 35 - 45 minutes uncovered on middle shelf.
Lasagna is done when noodles are soft and cheese is melted to golden brown.
Let set for about 15 minutes before serving.
(Otherwise it will fall apart.)
Add a side salad, garlic bread and ENJOY!
