Variations:
Meatless Option: Swap the meat for sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach for a hearty vegetarian lasagna.

FAQ:
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! Assemble the lasagna the day before and refrigerate overnight. Bake when ready to serve.

Q: What noodles work best—boiled or oven-ready?
A: You can use either! Oven-ready noodles work great if you’re tight on time—just add a little extra sauce to ensure they cook through.

Q: How can I make this less rich?
A: Use part-skim cheeses and reduce the cream cheese to lighten it up without sacrificing flavor.
