ASSEMBLING LASAGNA

1. Evenly slice your protein noodle into thirds. Your slices should just fit into an loaf pan or casserole pan.
2. Add a thin layer of meat sauce to the bottom of pan. Add first noodle layer over meat sauce.

3. Add 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce across first noodle layer. Spread 3 tbsp of ricotta cheese mixture across. Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese across. 

4. Repeat with second noodle, meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella.

5. Add third noodle. Top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle on remaining mozzarella. If desired you can add a pinch of dried herb seasoning to the cheese. I like to finely crumble a pinch of dried oregano and add it to the cheese. 

6. Bake lasagna in the middle of your oven at 350F for about 25 minutes.and broil 2 minutes to allow cheese to brown.
7. Let lasagna cool slightly before slicing and serving. If desired, sprinkle on some finely chopped fresh basil, oregano and parsley and freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving.
