So which side keeps in more moisture? This could be the cause of many a runny lasagna.

try poking some holes in the foil during the last 15-20min of your baked pasta it will let the excess moisture out, or take off the foil for the whole cooking process and have the cheese all browned up.

maybe the tomato sauce is not reduced enough ??

ok this is getting side tracked, sorry to highjack.
