Lasagna is one of those dishes that firms up a lot as it sets. Even though it might look like a cheesy, bubbly mess in the oven, if it's warmed all the way through it will be perfect once you let. I always put lasagna in loaf pans, making a deeper dish lasagna, and this way, I can make a whole recipe, divide into three loaf pans, and it is a perfect serving for two, with leftovers. No boil lasagna noodles, in our opinion, have an unpleasant texture and often turn out soggy.

Lasagna may just be the perfect dish — the sort of rich comfort food perfect for a holiday dinner, a new baby meal train, a welcome-to-the-neighborhood gift, or just an indulgent Sunday supper. Cook the noodles "al dente" so they'll still have quite a bite to them. When they're finished cooking, drain, rinse with cool water, and lay the noodles flat on a sheet of aluminum foil. Lasagna is a classic family favorite, and it's no secret why! Layers of al dente lasagna noodles, creamy cheese filling, hearty meat and warm red sauce make this Italian favorite irresistible.
