I like the cheese to be slightly browned though. If you put it on for
just the last few minutes it remains pale looking. For the same
reason I don't use foil, unless the lasagna has been refrigerated
before being baked. If that's the case I leave the foil on for the
first 30 minutes of baking and then take the foil off to allow the
cheese to brown.
