Should I Cover lasagna with foil while baking?
Chef's answer
If you leave your lasagna uncovered in the oven, it will become dry. Fight back with a foil-topped tray for a portion of the baking time. Once the lasagna has baked halfway through, remove the foil so the top can brown. If, once it's fully cooked, the top still looks pale, turn on the broiler to help move things along.
