TIP #1:
Always end the last layer with sauce then cheese. |
| |
Tip #2:
Set aside some sauce for serving at the table. Some like a
lot of sauce and some don't, so it's good to have it available. |
| |
TIP #3:
To prevent tin foil from sticking to the food when in the
oven, use toothpicks to prop up the foil on each corner and
in the middle. |
| |
TiP #4:
Sprinkling cheese on top just before serving gives a nicer
presentation. |
