Kittencal's Meatball Lasagna

• 12 lasagna noodles, cooked (boil a few more in case of breakage)
• 2 (28 ounce) jarsclassico pasta sauce (or use your own favorite pasta sauce)
• 35 -40 tiny cooked meatballs (about 3/4-inch round, or use as many as desired)
• 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese (or to taste)
• 13 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) containerphiladelphia chive & onion cream cheese (250 gram package)
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 12 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed between fingers to release flavor)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 12 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 12 cups grated mozzarella cheese
• 12 cup grated parmesan cheese

1. Set oven to 350F.
2. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish (or a similar size pan with high sides).
3. In a large bowl combine all filling ingredients until well blended (you may add in some salt to taste if desired, I use about 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt).
4. Spread about 1 to 1-1/4 cups pasta sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
5. Layer 4 cooked noodles lengthwise in the dish over the sauce.
6. Place the tiny cooked meatballs over the sauce.
7. Spoon about 3 cups pasta sauce over the meatballs, then sprinkle with about 1 cup mozzarella cheese (can use more cheese if desired).
8. Arrange another 4 noodles over the top of the mozzarella cheese, then using your hands push the noodles down slightly .
9. Spread the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
10. Top with another 4 noodles, then remaining pasta sauce (make certain to cover the noodles completely with the sauce).
11. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills (your pan will be VERY full).
12. Bake covered for about 1 hour, or until hot and bubbly (the lasagna will be completely cooked when a knife inserted into the middle comes out very hot).
13. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese (or more) then about 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese.
14. Return to oven and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes or just to melt the cheese.
15. Allow to stand for 15 or more minutes before slicing.
