In all my years of making lasagna, I have never tried the no boil method. I have heart good things about them though. I kinda wish I had a slice of your lasagna right now!
ReplyDeleteAlmost doesn't seem possible without any extra water, but I believe you:@) Hope you have a great weekend Kitty!
ReplyDeleteThis is the only way I make lasagna anymore...I never boil the noodles. I have a similar recipe in my cookbook...I use only one jar of sauce, and pour water around outside of pan before baking...it bakes perfectly. SO much easier than the 'old' way huh? Your panfull looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSame here, I don't boil my noodles any more either. Great recipe! Happy first day of Fall!
ReplyDeleteMy husband had always made it without cooking the noodles so I changed my ways, too! He makes the sauce a little thinner and it works like a dream. I married him because he could cook! Just kidding...well, kind of! heehee!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. Next time I make lasagna I'll try your recipe. Late this summmer I had about forty relatives over and I made the no boil noodles for the first time. It turned out well, but am anxious to try your recipe!

That is a beautiful dish of lasagna, Kitty! I have never tried this before, but I will now, thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI agree--I will never boil lasagna noodles again. This looks like a yummy recipe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lasagna, Kitty. I've tried this and it works great......Sarah
ReplyDeleteMy husband just reminded me, I haven't made lasagne in ages. I need to give No Bake Noodles a try! This looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love lasagna and yours look delicious, Kitty....Christine
ReplyDeleteMy d-i-l introduced me to the no boil noodles. She makes lasagna more often than I do! I want to try a veggie lasagna...have you made one?
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds delish!

Hi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteI tried once to make Lasagne with normal Lasagne noodles. It was a horrible mass! When I discovered thos none baking noodles, I started to make Lasagne again. It is one of our favoured dishes. Easy to make and perfect to prepare one day before. I make my filling different but will try your recipe as a nice variation.
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Best greetings, Johanna
I'm so glad that I'm following you! I can't believe that I've been boiling my lasagna for so long, this is SOOO much easier. Thank you so much for sharing:)

I've never tried the no boil. Will have to give this a go after I shed a little weight. Thanks for sharing this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see you again on Monday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
ReplyDeleteLooks good and will have to put on my must try list!
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteSo it really works, I am glad to know that it really works from a reliable source "You"! I will try this because it sure will cut down the prep time. Hope you are having a great weekend and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!
