Evenly dollop about half of the ricotta mixture over the sauce, and use the back of a fork to press it into a roughly even layer. Sprinkle about a third of the shredded mozzarella over the ricotta. Repeat to make one more layer, using three noodles, the ¾ cup sauce, the remaining half of the ricotta mixture, then about half of the remaining mozzarella.
