Homemade Lasagna – A Classic Favorite for the Whole Family

Serving: Pair with a fresh green salad and garlic bread for a full Italian-style meal.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.

Variations:
Vegetarian Option: Replace meat with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.

Cheesy Upgrade: Add a layer of ricotta mixed with a beaten egg and fresh parsley.

Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or use spicy Italian sausage in the meat sauce.

FAQ:
Q: Can I make lasagna ahead of time?
A: Absolutely. Assemble the lasagna a day in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake as usual the next day.

Q: Can I use store-bought sauces?
A: Yes, but homemade sauces add deeper flavor. If you’re in a hurry, quality jarred marinara and Alfredo sauces work well.

Q: How do I keep lasagna from being watery?
A: Let the lasagna rest after baking, and make sure your sauces are thick enough before layering.
