Notes
For extra flavor, use a blend of cheeses such as mozzarella and provolone. You can add vegetables like zucchini or spinach for a nutritious boost. If you like it spicy, add red pepper flakes to your meat sauce. To store leftovers, let the lasagna cool completely. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and then bake until heated through.
