  • Top with a final layer of lasagna noodles.
  • Bake
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh lasagna noodles
  • You can prepare the lasagna ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight before baking
  • For a lighter version, reduce the amount of cheese or use part-skim mozzarella
  • Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set properly
