Recipe View Broil until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned, and the pine nuts are toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (3 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, use a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
If you're short on time, use store-bought pesto. However, homemade pesto will elevate the dish to another level.
To toast pine nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as sautéed mushrooms or spinach, to the lasagna layers.
