Easy Peasy Tips
Prevent the cheese from sticking by Spray oil on the aluminum foil.
Wondering where the SALT is? – I don’t use salt in this recipe because the sausage usually has enough of it.
If you don’t have ricotta cheese don’t fret, cottage cheese is the next best thing!
Bake your lasagna on top of a cookie sheet so the juices don’t overflow into your oven and make a mess.
Layering the sauce on top of the noodles directly ensures they are nice and soft when baking.
