3. Drain the lasagna noodles and dry them. Spread 1/2 cup of sauce on the bottom of a glass baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles on the sauce, then spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Spoon half of the remaining sauce over the cheese, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Repeat with 4 more lasagna noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and the rest of the sauce. Top with additional grated cheese and basil.
