In a lasagna pan, spread a light layer of sauce and place lasagna noodles to fit ( It will depend on the size of your lasagna pan will dictate how many layers your Lasagna will be, mine was two noodles wide with six layers). On top of the noodles, ladle more sauce, dollops of ricotta cheese down the noodles and spread Italian cheese blend evenly, then add another layer of noodles and repeat until layers are complete. Make sure you have enough sauce for the top layer. Do Not put the last of the cheese on top until the last 15 minutes of cooking or it will burn. Bake in total about 45-50 minutes of cooking uncovered.
