Tips

Ditch ricotta cheese and make lasagna the traditional Italian way with bechamel sauce for a much better taste.
Sear ground beef first to lock in flavor.
Do not use pre-made pasta sauce; use canned tomatoes for the bolognese.
Bake covered first to ensure everything is cooked through, then uncover and broil for a golden cheesy top.
Let the lasagna set for 15 minutes after baking to help it hold its shape when serving.
