Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup of grated parmesan, and eggs. Mix well until thoroughly combined. |
| 3 | Spread 1 cup of sauce evenly in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, covering the bottom. |
| 4 | Place 4 uncooked lasagna noodles over the sauce in the baking dish. Spread 1 cup of sauce over the noodles, then layer with half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Repeat this layering process once more. |
| 5 | Top the lasagna with the remaining 4 uncooked lasagna noodles and 2 cups of sauce, ensuring the noodles are fully covered. |
| 6 | Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. |
| 7 | After 1 hour, remove the foil from the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses over the top of the lasagna. |
| 8 | Return the uncovered lasagna to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. |
| 9 | Once baked, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the lasagna to set and makes it easier to slice and serve. |
