My 13 x 9 glass baking dish takes 5 noodles per layer (4 horizontally, one vertically with the end trimmed). Therefore, I use 15 noodles not 8 noodles as per your recipe. (I usually have about 4 of the no cook noodles left in the box afterwards). I like to make a meat sauce with a mixture of ground beef and ground pork, brown and drain it, then add 2 bottles of Classico Sweet Basil Marinara (or sometimes a mix of The Marinara with the Roasted Garlic & Onion or Fire Roasted Tomato & Garlic). I use smooth ricotta mixed with one egg and a little basil and Parmesan (but I only put it on the middle layer, not all three layers). After the last layer of noodles is added, I add a small jar of Classico Alfredo on top and more mozzarella. Everyone raves about my lasagna. They love it!
