Instructions
- Over medium-high heat, saute onions, garlic and bay leaves until soft, about 2 minutes.

- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles in a separate pot until al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil so they don’t stick together.
