FAQ
What type of pastry sheet to use?
The best is the one that does not require pre-cooking. In my version, I prefer the ultra-thin egg sheet as it cooks faster.
What type of skillet to use for caprese lasagna?
The best is a non-stick skillet 10-11 inches with a lid. I recommend greasing the skillet well so that nothing sticks to the bottom.
