Here’s the truth no cookbook will tell you: Your lasagna is ready when you can’t wait another second. The anticipation is half the fun. If you pull it out a minute early, the residual heat will finish the job. If you pull it out a minute late, you get a crispier top. Win-win.
So stop panicking. You’re not defusing a bomb—you’re baking a casserole. It’s forgiving. It’s friendly. And it’s going to taste amazing, I promise.
