Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the lasagna is baked to perfection. Next, I boil a large pot of salted water and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they’re al dente. I like to add a little oil to the water to prevent sticking. Once cooked, I drain them and lay them out flat on a clean kitchen towel to keep them from sticking. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
