Evenly slice your cheese dough into thirds.
Your slices should just fit into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan.
Add a thin layer of meat sauce to the bottom of an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan.
Add the first noodle layer over meat sauce.
Add 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce across the first noodle layer.
Spread 3 tbsp of ricotta cheese across.
