The middle of your lasagna is just a happy, repetitive dance. Sauce, noodles, filling. Noodles, sauce, a sprinkle of mozzarella. Then repeat. It’s the chorus of your favorite song. You know the moves now. Don’t overthink it.
A common mistake? Getting lazy on the middle layers. People think, "Oh, it’s just the middle, nobody will see it." Wrong! The middle is the heart. It’s where all the flavors marry and have little flavor-babies. Give it the same love you gave the top.
If the middle is dry, the entire dish is a failure. It’s like having a birthday cake with a boring, dry center. You still eat it, but you feel a little cheated. Every layer earns its keep in the final bite.
