Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl combine ricotta, garlic, parmesan, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning.
Pour ½ cup of water into your 9x13 baking dish.
Add layer of noodles in a single layer on the bottom of the dish.
Next add ⅓ of the tomato sauce and spread evenly.
Carefully dollop ⅓ ricotta mixture and spread carefully to in a layer. Don't' worry if the cheese mixture doesn't completely cover the sauce just do the best you can.
Next, sprinkle ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat until all of the ingredients are used up.
Top with remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover dish with tin foil and bake covered for 40 minutes if noodles are par boiled and 50 minutes if they are not. Remove foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbly.
Once removed from the oven, allow to sit and cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
