Tightly wrap in foil (the steam cooks the noodles..) and place on a cookie sheet to catch drips. Bake and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving :)

2.Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 13×9 inch pan ( I used a smaller 9 by 9 pan). Layer with uncooked lasagna noodles, cheese, sauce. Continue layering until all ingredients are used. Cover pan with aluminum foil.

4.Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 45 minutes. Uncover, and top with a bit more cheese (parmesan is great) . Bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
