Here are some tips for making lasagna: - Use a good quality meat sauce. The sauce is the most important part of the lasagna, so be sure to use a recipe that you like.
- Don’t overcook the noodles. The noodles should be cooked al dente, or firm to the bite.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
