Don’t you wish you could make a lasagna that was easy to cut and serve nice square blocks that stay together? Making a lasagna can be a tough and intimidating task, but with the right lasagna cooking tips, you can make it delicious. Check out these tips for a better lasagna.

In my meat sauce, I try to combine a couple types of meat. Try beef, pork and turkey for the best flavor. The lasagna noodles can be dried, fresh, or the no boil variety. I prefer the no boil type because it tastes the best with a lasagna and won’t be soggy after the lasagna is baked.

With any recipe, fresher is always better. There is no dish out there that tastes better with ingredients that are not fresh. When I think of what needs to be fresh in the lasagna, it starts with the cheese. With the Parmesan cheese, I prefer the freshly grated type. And with mozzarella cheese, you have to find the best and the freshest type of mozzarella. This step is pretty easy. Buy fresh cheese.

Whatever you do, do not add liquid to your sauce. You want your sauce to be thick, especially if you add veggies to your sauce. Veggies will only add more water to your lasagna and then you won’t be able to cut out nice squares that stay together.

Be sure to have aluminum foil on hand to cover your lasagna while it bakes. If you don’t use aluminum foil, it will burn on top of the lasagna. Leave it covered for most of the baking time, only uncovering it during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Spray your baking dish AND put a little sauce on the bottom so the noodles won’t stick or get tough.

Be sure to drain the meat VERY well to keep lasagna from being runny. This is very important. You can even use a paper towel to drain the meat.

Eggs are very important to a lasagna. You can use eggs for binder. Use three eggs with meat, spaghetti sauce, cream cheese, cottage or ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and noodles.

You can find hundreds of lasagna tips throughout the internet. I’ve just included the most important tips for your lasagna. You can also make vegetarian lasagna, but I absolutely love Meat Lasagna and that’s all I usually make. Good luck with your lasagna!
