bowl) to cover all the sauce. Spoon sauce covering all the Lasagna.

Place in center of Microwave. Cook on high for 18 mins. If cheese is
shiny or sauce not rapidly bubbling then cook additional mins. to 
allow for all the cheese to get cooked. Let stand a few mins. 

Note: Microwave ovens vary: Those with low microwaves will need to 
cook close to twice as long. If your microwave does not automatically
turn the food then you will need to turn the bowl manually about every
5-10 mins. for more even cooking and may take additional time too.

WARNING: USE Pot holders - Bowl will be VERY HOT! Place bowl on pot
holder. Use a sharp knife to cut like a pie into 8 pie slices. Use
a big serving spoon to scoop out the desired amount. Serves 4-6 Adults
