Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the lasagna to set and makes it easier to cut.
For an even richer flavor, consider adding a layer of sautéed vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach to the lasagna.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, use a combination of marinara sauce and a can of diced tomatoes with Italian herbs.
To prevent the noodles from drying out, ensure there is enough sauce to fully hydrate them during baking. If needed, add a little water or broth to the sauce.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with a hearty vegetable medley, such as eggplant, mushrooms, and lentils.
