Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook the lasagna noodles until barely soft. Drain. Put a layer of sauce at the bottom of a lasagna pan. Place a layer of noodles. Spread one third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with one third of the mozzarella cheese and one fourth of the parmesan cheese. Spoon sauce over the cheeses. Repeat with two more noodle, cheese, sauce layers. Finish with a layer of noodles. Spoon the remainder of the sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle with the remainder of the parmesan cheese.
