4. In a large, long baking dish, coat the bottom with a thin layer of the sauce. Add first layer of noodles. Depending on the size of noodle and pan, this will be roughly 3-4 noodles across. Add the Cheese mixture next. Then sauce layer on top of the cheese mixture, spreading gently over. Repeat the process for roughly 3-4 layers: noodles, cheese, sauce. On the final layer of sauce, add the rest of your shredded mozzarella, and sprinkle with the rest of your parmesan.
