If you totally fill the baking dish from side to side, there is no place for excess liquid to run off. I make lasagna similar to the way I bake meat loaf in that I only fill the baking dish about 3/4 full.

We put it on a sloping chopping board and let all the liquid drain off for 30 mins or so.</p> If your mozzarella is the 'real' thing and comes as balls of white cheese in water, it might also help to 'drain' it.

This was really good, and paleo compatible. Its better to pre-boil the cabbage (make it easier to digest). </p> <p>Also, it's much tastier when prepared with leftovers of "pot-au-feu" that you mince yourself, than with store-bought minced meat. <br /> </p> My Grand Mother, who was a great cook (she was French with an Italian-born mother)used to prepare a dish which was similar to lasagna, except that the pasta was replaced with layers of green cabbage.
