Yes. Definitely if you are making your own red sauce with meat and béchamel sauce and have to par boil the noodles.  Total PIA and makes huge kitchen mess [/quote]

YES. boiling those impossible large flappy noodles makes it just a no-go. The move is no-boil noodles and use sausage. That gives enough energy to make your own marina if desired. [/quote]

I'll let you in on a secret...you don't have to boil the noodles. Even if you are using the regular kind, not the no-boil kind. [/quote]

Really?? Tell me more.[/quote]

You just layer the lasagna up just like you would if they were boiled except be careful to make sure they are covered with sauce and make sure to cook it with foil over the top and it will need a little extra cook time. If this makes you nervous, you can take the extra step of soaking them in hot water for a bit. Just put them into a tray and boil water in the kettle and pour it over the noodles and soak them while you are getting everything else together. You really don't need to, though. [/quote]

Very helpful, thank you![/quote]

You are quite welcome! Lasagna is my absolute favorite, but I'm a very lazy cook and have ADHD so can't handle to many moving parts with recipes. So I figured this out![/quote]
