EASY Classic Homemade Lasagna

💡 Pro Tips for a Perfect Lasagna

• Don’t Skip the Rest: Letting the lasagna rest is the secret to clean slices. If you cut it immediately, it will be a messy (but still delicious) puddle.

• Moisture is Key for No-Boil: If you use no-boil noodles, ensure your sauce is a little on the liquidy side. The noodles will absorb the moisture as they bake.

• Béchamel Swap: For an even creamier, authentic Italian experience, skip the ricotta mixture and make a simple Béchamel Sauce (flour, butter, milk) to layer in instead.⁸

• Make Ahead: Lasagna is a fantastic make-ahead meal! Assemble the entire dish, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 15 minutes to the covered baking time if baking from cold.
