Sounds very good. I will have to give it a try.
Sounds good. I've never tried not cooking the pasta first. Does the water make your sauce runny?
I have never cooked the noodles!
i just sent this to my son!
So you don't even have to cook the noodles first, huh? That sounds cool...I'll definitely give this one a try, thanks ;-)
Hmm I think mine might be easier.
i have never cooked the noodles either
Thanks, I love lasagna.
It does look simple enough Sonia. I haven't made lasagna in years because of the fact that I hate cooking the noodles.
Thanks for sharing..I am always looking for easy dinner ideas.
You NEVER have to cook the noodles first.
I used to start my own sauce with browning ground turkey with onions and peppers... then adding tomato sauce and tomato paste - and lots of herbs
You can experiment with low fat and fat free cheeses to see which has the right amount of melt for you. I always let the finished lasagna sit in the oven and continue to cook without heat for a while. It's easier to cut when it's not just finished cooking.
I love lasagna. I havn't made it in a while.
