Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Good lasagna starts with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Look for high-quality tomatoes, cheese, and meat. The better the ingredients, the better your lasagna will be.
- Don't skimp on the sauce: Lasagna is all about the sauce. Make sure to use a generous amount of sauce, both between the layers and on top of the lasagna. A good sauce will make your lasagna moist and flavorful.
- Layer the lasagna properly: The order of the layers is important in lasagna. Start with a layer of sauce, then add a layer of noodles, then a layer of cheese, and so on. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the ingredients.
- Bake the lasagna until it is golden brown: Lasagna should be baked until it is golden brown and bubbling. This usually takes about 30 minutes. If you insert a knife into the center of the lasagna and it comes out clean, the lasagna is done.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving: Once the lasagna is baked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the lasagna to set and make it easier to cut.
