Back of the Box: No Boil Classic Lasagne

Posted By on Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 5:11 PM

This recipe No Boil Classic Lasagne comes from the back of a box of Mueller’s lasagne noodles. Surprisingly the recipe doesn’t call for the special “no boil” noodles though the recipe itself is no boil (as in, you don’t have to pre-boil the lasagne noodles prior to assembly and baking).

Hm. Do I like crusty non-cooked pasta bits? Dry lasagna? Eh… I wasn’t sure about this recipe after reading it.

But you know what? It was actually pretty good. Not having to boil the noodles rocks! No more burning my fingertips handling hot noodles, and it saved me from having to wash an extra pot and colander.

The recipe calls for either 1 pound of ground beef or Italian sausage. I used both – a half pound each. I think the sausage lends some nice flavors to the dish, so I’d recommend you use some sausage as opposed to all ground beef.

Also, if you are counting calories, feel free to sub in fat free ricotta cheese. You really can’t tell the difference.

My boyfriend loves this lasagna he says it's orgasmic. LoL. I think that's a little bit of an exaggeration.

Very good neighbor; I'm from Forest City. I was trying to save my intention of cooking lasagne having bought the regular "boil" pasta. Came across this and it worked out very well. Very tasty!

This is a great recipe!!!! Ive made it numerous times. Im trying something new today. I doubled it for Christmas and put it in a big pan. Ill let you know how it turns out. Im going to bake it a half hour longer and keep an eye on it. Im sure it will be great. Merry Christmas. PS the secret is to let it sit after baking. If you dont it will be soupy. Thats from experience.
