Making lasagna with fresh pasta is fun and easy.
The fresh noodles don’t require cooking before assembling the lasagna.
When layering your pasta, remember to leave space for the noodles to expand, because the moisture in the sauce, vegetables, and cheeses is absorbed by the noodles during baking.
Watch Katie assemble and bake a lasagna using fresh pasta sheets in a short video.
