8. Cover the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish with a thin layer of sauce followed by 1 or 2 layers of uncooked lasagna noodles; Assemble the remainder in the following sequence: cheese-egg mixture, sauce, mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded), noodles; repeat layers ending with a layer of noodles covered with a thin layer of sauce and some shredded mozzarella.
9. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes .
10. Remove foil, cover top with more mozzarella and grated parmesan.
11. Bake for another 5-10 minutes .
12. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
13. NOTE: When assembling the lasagna, we use medium- thick slices of mozzarella rather than shredded.
14. Either works great, the sliced cheese just seems to add a little extra cheesiness.
15. We use shredded for the mozzarella topping that is applied at the end.
