What is the secret ingredient in lasagna?

Lasagna is a popular dish largely because it is easy to make and can be customized for any taste and flavor preferences.

How many layers of lasagna is best?

Lasagna is famous for its layered look and tasty ingredients. There is no right or wrong answer to how many layers to make, but a general rule of thumb is to have at least two layers of each main ingredient, the bottom, and a final top layer
