- Let noodles sit in a bowl of cool water until ready to use.
- Heat oven to 350u0b0; spoon about 1/2 cup bechamel sauce into the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan.
- Lift the noodles from the water individually and blot dry on paper towels; arrange a slightly overlapping layer of 4 noodles on the bottom of the dish.
- In a bowl, stir the ricotta, parsley, 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), the black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of the remaining nutmeg until blended.
- Spread in a layer over the noodles.
- Arrange 4 more noodles in an overlapping layer over the ricotta.
- Sprinkle with the crumbled Gorgonzola and the shredded mozzarella.
- Top with remaining 4 lasagna noodles arranged in a slightly overlapping single layer.
