    Notes

    For a make ahead lasagna, assemble the entire dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
    If you prefer a richer sauce, substitute one pound of the ground beef with ground Italian sausage.
    To achieve a restaurant quality texture, use whole milk ricotta cheese instead of part-skim.
