Stir occasionally. Drain and separate noodles. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Now let's build the lasagna! Put in the bottom of two 12 x 8 x 2 1/2-inch baking dishes, a thin layer of sauce, then a crisscross layer of the lasagna noodles and a layer of cheese. In all use: 3/4 lb. Ricotta cheese, 1/2 lb. grated Parmesan cheese, 1/3 lb. sliced or crumbled, Mozzarella cheese. Repeat twice with sauce, noodles and cheese. The final cheese layer is covered once more with sauce and a dusting of Parmesan. Bake for about 40 minutes. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. The lasagna can then be cut for serving.
