Cooking Tips:

• Lightly sauté or roast your veggies before layering to keep the lasagna from getting watery.

• Use no-boil noodles to save time—just make sure there’s enough sauce to keep them tender.

• Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes after baking for clean, structured slices.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with a crisp green salad and lemon vinaigrette for a balanced meal.

• Serve with crusty garlic bread to soak up every last bit of sauce.

• Enjoy leftovers the next day—flavors deepen overnight!
