Critical Success Points

  • Browning the pork and sausage to develop fond
  • Deglazing with white wine to lift caramelized bits

  • Covering the lasagna with foil for the first bake
  • Resting the lasagna 30 min before slicing

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard if needed.
  • Handle raw pork with clean hands and sanitize surfaces.
  • Oven will be 350°F – use oven mitts when removing foil.
