– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

6. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
7. To assemble the lasagna, spoon a thin layer of the meat sauce onto the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
8. Place a layer of no-boil lasagna noodles on top of the meat sauce.
9. Spoon a layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
10. Repeat the layers until you have used up all the ingredients, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.
11. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the lasagna.
12. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
13. Remove the foil from the baking dish and bake the lasagna for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
