To layer the lasagna, start by spreading a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
Place a layer of oven-ready lasagna noodles over the sauce, ensuring they slightly overlap.
Add another layer of the meat sauce, followed by a layer of the mixed cheeses.
Continue layering with noodles, sauce, and cheese, finishing with a generous layer of the cheese mixture on top.
Sprinkle Italian herbs and spices over the cheese layer for extra flavor.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.
Remove the foil and broil the lasagna for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair the lasagna with a fresh salad and garlic bread for a complete meal.
