Analyzing cooking steps...
The two keys to a great lasagna are a fantastic, slow-cooked meat sauce and a high-quality cheese filling.
Use a large, deep lasagna pan (approximately 10x15 inches) as this recipe makes a substantial amount.
Using high-quality, whole milk cheeses makes a significant difference in the final texture and flavor.
It is crucial to let the lasagna rest for at least 20 minutes after baking. This allows it to set up, making it much easier to cut into clean, beautiful squares.
