For a richer flavor, try using Italian sausage instead of ground beef. Feel free to add vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini to the beef mixture. If you prefer a saucier lasagna, add an extra half jar of spaghetti sauce. To prevent the noodles from sticking, you can lightly pre-cook them before layering.
