Great lasagna Dede

Making Tenina's chicken pot pie off her website with a few additions (mushrooms, leeks, mustard and cream)  Smells yum already, could just use the filling as a pasta bake as well.

The lasagne looks great dede. You've inspired me to give homemade pasta a go.
Fundj said to lie pasta on floured tea towels - Is that what you did?
I thought I read somewhere it was damp tea towels. If Fundj says floured then it must be right.

Michelle I had mine laying over a broom handle to start with until Halex said that here's cracked that way. So I laid them on clean tea towels, I already had floured the lasagna sheets so didn't add any extra and they were fine. I also placed some clean tea towels on  top as well while I prepared the rest of the ingredients for the lasagna.
Worked out well (I think)

Another question for fundj or Halex or who ever.
How long do I leave the left over lasagna sheets to dry before I can store them in an air tight container?
