Important Lasagna Cooking Tips
Before you start cooking, I note that it is important to pay attention to the purchase of ingredients for lasagna. All products must be fresh, quality.
Another important point is the choice of sheets. They are of two types - requiring and not requiring preliminary cooking. The second option is more convenient, faster.
In the process of preparing lasagna, it will be necessary to make Bechamel sauce yourself. It is not difficult, but there is one thing. A crust often forms on the surface of the sauce. If you cover Bechamel with a lid, condensation will collect and excess moisture will get into the cream. To avoid this, it is necessary to closely cover the surface of the creamy sauce with cling film. The air underneath should not remain.
