How to Make Lasagna with No-Boil Noodles

Step 1

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Use a 9 x 12 baking dish ( Pyrex or foil pan).

Step 2

First Layer: Spread 1 cup or more on the bottom of the baking dish with Bolognese sauce, and spread it evenly. Lay the lasagna sheets over the sauce, breaking pieces, or overlaying if you need to cover the sauce.

Step 3

Second Layer: Next, top the noodles with another heaping ladle of bolognese sauce, about another cup. Cover evenly. Then spread a layer of shredded mozzarella, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Third Layer: Lay another layer of no-boil lasagna noodles. Spread with another heaping ladle of meat sauce, covering evenly. Next, top with 6 spoonfuls of ricotta cheese. Using the back of your spoon, tap the ricotta cheese to help flatten it out. No need to spread it evenly, the ricotta cheese will melt evenly while baking. Then sprinkle with 1 or 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Fourth Layer: Cover with another layer of no-boil noodles, breaking some noodles if you have to, to make them fit, or overlap if fine too. Then add a layer of Bolognese sauce on top. Sprinkle on top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Finally, drizzle 1/4 cup of half & half cream over the lasagna. COVER with foil wrap.

Step 7

BAKE for 35 to 40 minutes. Carefully pull out the lasagna, remove the foil cover, and return it to the oven to continue to bake uncovered for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and it's bubbling around the edges of the baking dish.

Step 8

Remove from the oven, and allow it to rest for a few minutes before cutting. Then cut into individual pieces and serve.
