Notes

- Reserve a cup of starchy pasta water before draining the noodles; it helps create a silky sauce if needed.
- For a richer flavor, use a good quality marinara sauce or make your own.
- Ensure noodles are fully submerged in the sauce for even cooking; add a touch more water if they peek out.
- Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
