  Cook garlic and ground beef in a buttered skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned.

  Mix the meat with the pasta sauce. In an 8 x 8 inch baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of the sauce at the bottom of the dish. Cover the sauce with 4 lasagna noodles, followed by 1/2 of the sauce, and 1/2 of the mixed cheese. Repeat this process. Then, top the lasagna with 4 additional noodles and 1 cup of the meat sauce. Set any remaining sauce to the side.

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the cover, add any remaining mozzarella or parmesan cheese, and return the lasagna to the oven to bake uncovered for 10 more minutes. Remove the lasagna and let it cool for 10 minutes. When serving, heat up any remaining meat sauce and serve together.
