Notes
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the cheesy texture.
- Freezing: This dish can be frozen before baking. Just assemble it, cover tightly, and freeze for up to a month. When ready, bake from frozen, adding an extra 10 to 15 minutes to the cooking time.
- Pairing: Serve with a light salad to balance the richness of the lasagna. A simple vinaigrette does wonders!
- Variations: Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers between the layers for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Cheese Alternatives: If you're not a fan of ricotta, consider using cottage cheese or a plant-based alternative for a different flavor profile.
- Serving Size: This dish is quite filling, so consider serving smaller portions alongside an appetizer or side for a complete meal.
