Cooking lasagna requires careful attention to time and temperature to ensure it is cooked through while maintaining its tender texture and flavorful layers. The duration of cooking lasagna varies depending on factors such as the size and shape of the pan, the type of oven used, and the desired level of doneness.
Generally, a standard 9×13 inch lasagna takes about 45-60 minutes to bake in a preheated oven set to 375F (190C). The lasagna should be covered with aluminum foil during baking to prevent the top from browning too quickly. Once the baking time is complete, let the lasagna rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the lasagna to set and the flavors to meld together.
