What makes lasagna watery?

Not completely draining the pasta could make this lasagna watery. When you drain pasta, let it drain for a couple of minutes. You should also drain the moisture from the ricotta cheese.

Can I just add the uncooked pasta to the lasagna mixture and bake it?

This pasta needs to be boiled first. You could buy no boil lasagna noodles and break them up in this, but I have not tried it so can’t make any promises! Let me know if you give it a try!
