  6. Step 6: Spread a thin layer of the vegetable sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

  10. Step 10: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes serving easier.
