AWESOME LASAGNA (NO-BOIL, EASY)

Awesome Lasagna (No-Boil, Easy) image

This is a really good basic lasagna recipe. It's based on one I found somewhere, but I've tweaked it quite a bit to suit my own tastes. I like it as written with italian sausage, but you can substitute ground beef if you must.

LASAGNA - NO BOIL

Lasagna - No Boil image

Since the noodles aren't boiled first, this lasagna can be put together in a snap. There is a lot of sauce in this recipe which allows the noodles to pull moisture from the dish without drying the lasagna out. The layers are creamy, meaty, and delicious. Sometimes lasagna can be a little soupy when first cut into, but not this...

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be al dente, with a slight bite to them.
Use a variety of cheeses in the filling for a rich, flavorful lasagna.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauce recipes. There are many delicious variations to choose from.
Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it set and make it easier to cut.
