DIRECTIONS

* Step 4

Here's an easier tip for Lasagna assembly: If you know how many layers of Lasagna you're going to make (3 or 4 depending upon your pan size) divide every ASSEMBLY INGREDIENT in half or quarters as the recipe calls for. (meat sauce, fresh tomatoes, ricotta mixture, basil, parsley, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses) This way you're not overloading one Lasagna and subtracting from the other.

* Step 5

*Please, please, please trust me when I say that this dish is exponentially better if made today and allowed to chill covered for 24 hours prior to baking! This recipe also freezes great either cooked or uncooked. Personally, I always make two pans, freeze one immediately and allow the other sit for 24 hours then bake it. However, due to time restraints and unexpected guests arriving, I have been forced to bake both immediately after constructing and it STILL received rave reviews!
