I love eating lasagna. Such an awesome and delicious treat. You can make a delicious lasagna with just a couple of quick tips. Are you tired of eating a soggy lasagna? 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 the Parmesan cheese, I prefer the freshly grated type, for obvious reasons...taste. As with any recipe, the better the ingredients the better the dish, but this is a dish you can cheat a little. Again, with mozzarella cheese, you have to find the best and the freshest type of mozzarella.
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.
Cover your lasagna with aluminum foil while it bakes. If not, it will burn on top. Leave it covered for most of the baking time, only uncovering it during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Be sure to put a little sauce on the bottom so the noodles won't stick. You can also spray it with pam if you choose to.
Drain meat VERY well to keep lasagna from being runny.
Use eggs for binder. Try three eggs with meat, spaghetti sauce, cream cheese, cottage or ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and noodles.
There are hundreds of lasagna tips on the internet, but these are the most important lasagna tips, I believe. You can also make vegetarian lasagna, but I absolutely love Meat Lasagna and that's all I usually make. Good luck with your lasagna!
