What Is the Top Layer of Lasagna
I checked five different recipes before writing this (yes, I’m that nerd). Every single one says the top layer is a final sheet of pasta, covered in sauce and cheese. Boring, but correct.
However, three of them added a footnote: “For extra crunch, broil the lasagna for two minutes after baking.” That’s code for “the true top layer is a controlled chaos of burned cheese.” Heed that advice.
At the end of the day, the top layer of lasagna is a metaphor for how you finish things. Do you half-ass the last step? Or do you go all in, leaving a footprint of glory? Choose wisely, my friend. Your lasagna is watching.
