Notes
If storing leftovers, add a splash of broth when reheating to adjust the consistency.
For a vegetarian version, substitute the meat with diced zucchini or mushrooms.
Customize the cheese by adding parmesan or asiago for extra depth of flavor.
For a quicker option, use small pasta shapes like penne or rotini instead of lasagna noodles.
