Kittencal's Meatball Lasagna

Kids of all ages enjoy this dish! ---i use my recipe#69173 you may use your own favorite meatball recipe, the meatballs must be cooked firstly, if your meatballs are large just coarsely crumble the meat --- i have stated to use a 13 x 9-inch pan, if you have a similar size lasagna pan with high sides then i suggest to use it for this, the pan will be very full --- i have 12 noodles stated in this recipe, you may use more noodles if desired, i most always do :)

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl combine all filling ingredients until well blended.
Spread about 1 to 1-1 / 4 cups pasta sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer 4 cooked noodles lengthwise in the dish over the sauce.
Place the tiny cooked meatballs over the sauce.
Spoon about 3 cups pasta sauce over the meatballs , then sprinkle with about 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Arrange another 4 noodles over the top of the mozzarella cheese , then using your hands push the noodles down slightly.
Spread the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
Top with another 4 noodles , then remaining pasta sauce.
Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
