Repeat layers twice more, ending with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Cover dish with aluminum foil.Bake until lasagna noodles are tender and casserole is bubbling, about 50 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese topping is lightly browned, 15 to 20 more minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.This is great if you prepare it the day ahead and keep refrigerated. Just cook a little longer.Info | San Remo Lasagna Sheets Recipeprep: 30 mins cook: 1 hr 10 mins additional: 45 mins total: 2 hrs 25 mins Servings: 10 Yield: 1 9x13-inch pan
