Note

For best results, allow the lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to set the layers before slicing.

You can substitute no-boil noodles if preferred; adjust baking time and add a little extra sauce to ensure proper hydration.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables, such as spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms, to add nutrition and flavor.
