Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until they are tender yet firm to the bite (al dente). Drain the noodles and set aside.

Recipe View Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it stand for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving. This allows the lasagna to set and makes it easier to slice.

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the meat sauce while it simmers.
If you prefer ricotta cheese, you can substitute it for the cottage cheese in the filling.
To prevent the lasagna from drying out, ensure the baking dish is well-covered with foil during the initial baking period.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
