OUR FAVORITE NO BOIL LASAGNA

Our Favorite No Boil Lasagna image

I found this recipe a long time ago on a box or jar, we've made our own additions to it over the years. Everyone always comments on the great flavors and the secret is the sausage- we use breakfast sausage for a great slightly spicy slightly sweet taste. You can use any red pasta sauce that you like- we LOVE a roasted red pepper and onion flavor because it complements the sausage really well. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use a variety of cheeses for a richer flavor. A blend of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other cheeses such as fontina, cheddar, or goat cheese.
Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
