Is two layers of noodles enough for lasagna?
The popular two-layer lasagna can easily be converted into a three-layer lasagna if your dish is deeper by making five additional noodles and doubling the cheese sauce (plus, possibly baking for an additional few minutes, depending on your oven).

Spread about 1/3 of your filling onto the base noodles. If your layers are too thick, your lasagna may fall apart when you serve and eat it.
