Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Spread 1 cup meat sauce on the bottom.

Layer as follows:

4 no-boil noodles

⅓ of the cheese mixture

⅓ of the meat sauce

A sprinkle of mozzarella

Repeat layers two more times (noodles, cheese, sauce, mozzarella).

Top final layer of noodles with remaining meat sauce and the rest of the mozzarella.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.

Let it rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing — this step is crucial for clean layers.
