Overcooking, especially uncovered, makes noodles rubbery or pasta tough.

You can bake lasagna at 350°F or 375°F, but 375°F is generally preferred as the "sweet spot," providing thorough cooking and a nicely browned top without burning; 350°F works but takes longer, while 400°F risks cooking too fast on the outside.

The "pasta 2-hour rule" is a food safety guideline: never leave perishable foods like cooked pasta at room temperature (40°F - 140°F) for more than 2 hours, because bacteria multiply rapidly in this "danger zone," with some, like Bacillus cereus, potentially causing food poisoning; if the temperature is above 90°F, the limit drops to 1 hour, and reheating doesn't always destroy heat-resistant toxins, so it's best to refrigerate or discard it promptly.
