TIP: Substitute ground chicken for half of ground meat to make the lasagna leaner.
23
For softer less crisp noodles cover with foil during bake time.
24
My family likes it if I use curly lasagna and the curly part gets a bit crispy.
25
For those that don't the foil is the way to go.
26
One reader suggested to me that adding an extra 1/2 cup of water to the sauce makes for a softer noodle if you prefer too :).
