About Lasagna
Lasagna is made by layering wide pasta sheets with sauce, cheese and often meat or vegetables. A creamy white sauce or a ricotta mix is common between layers. It bakes until bubbly, then rests so it can be cut into neat squares.
It differs from other baked pasta because of those flat layers. It is not just a sauce like the pasta sauces section, and it has no broth like noodle soups. It takes a little more time, but it is easy to make ahead and rewarding to share.
Questions folks ask
Do I need to boil lasagna noodles first?
Regular sheets are usually boiled first. No-boil sheets can go in dry if there is enough sauce.
Why is my lasagna watery?
Often the sauce or vegetables hold too much water. Simmer the sauce thick and let the lasagna rest after baking.
Can I freeze lasagna?
Yes. Freeze it baked or unbaked, wrapped well, and thaw in the fridge before heating.
Kitchen tips
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom so the sheets do not stick.
- Use no-boil sheets if you like, with a little extra sauce.
- Cover with foil for most of the bake, then uncover to brown.
- Let it rest 15 minutes before cutting.
- Assemble a day early and bake when ready.
