Top with around 3 lasagna noodles (enough to cover completely).
Evenly layer 1/2 of your ricotta mixture on top of the noodles.

Top with 3-4 C of mozzarella (or enough to cover). Finally place ~1 C of parmesan cheese on the very top
Cook
Cover the lasagna with foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Spray the foil with oil so that it doesn't stick to the cheese
Remove the foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
You can broil at the end for more browning on the cheese.
Let rest for ~5-10 minutes.
ENJOY!
