Recipes Tips

First, be sure to cook the lasagna noodles al dente, or slightly firm, so that they hold up better in the baking dish.
Second, let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the layers to set and make it easier to cut.
Finally, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add your favorite herbs and spices for extra flavor.
