  • 4
    In 13x9 baking dish, spread approx. 3/4 cup meat sauce.
  • 5
    Place 3 pieces uncooked pasta crosswise over sauce. Pieces should not overlap or touch side of pan since they will expand when baked.

  • 7
    Repeat steps 5 and 6 two more times. Top with remaining 3 pasta pieces. Spread remaining meat sauce completely over pasta, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
