For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage. Oven-ready lasagna noodles can be used directly from the box; however, traditional noodles may need to be par-boiled according to package directions to ensure they are tender in the final dish. Feel free to add vegetables like sautéed onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the meat sauce for added flavor and nutrition. Store leftover lasagna in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
