Tips:

  • Choose your pasta. While lasagna noodles are the classic choice, you can also use penne, ziti, or any other type of pasta that you like.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. You want it to be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the casserole.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. Mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan are all classic lasagna cheeses, but you can also experiment with other types, such as cheddar, fontina, or Gruyère.
  • Don't be afraid to add other ingredients. Meatballs, sausage, vegetables, and herbs can all be added to your lasagna to make it even more flavorful.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
