Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use a good quality lasagna noodle: The type of lasagna noodle you use can make a big difference in the final dish. Look for a noodle that is sturdy and won't break down when cooked.
- Don't overcook the noodles: Lasagna noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and ruin the texture of the dish.
- Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The sauce is the heart of any lasagna. Make sure to use a sauce that is rich, flavorful, and well-seasoned.
- Layer the lasagna properly: When assembling the lasagna, start with a layer of sauce, then noodles, then cheese, then more sauce, and so on. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the ingredients.
- Bake the lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown: The lasagna is done baking when it is bubbly around the edges and the cheese is golden brown. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
