7. Lay your first layer of lasagne noodles on the bottom of the dish.
8. Spread one layer of ricotta cheese on the noodles.

12. Sprinkle the top of the lasagne with mozzarella and parmesan after final layer of noodles is placed.
13. Cover lasagne with tin foil and place it in the oven for about 35 mins. Check it at 35 mins the sauce should be bubbling. Take the tin foil off and let the top of the lasagne brown for another 10 minutes or so.
