Just follow the recipe on the box of Barilla no-boil lasagna noodles. It's delicious. Make sure to use the Barilla marinara sauce in a jar. I use this recipe and get compliments every time.

Most important:


GO BUY NO BOIL NOODLES.

That's usually the worst part of making lasagna.

Carry on.

You don't have Google either? Is it an epidemic?

Agree with pp. I use Newman's sockarooni sauce and it tastes great. Don't kill yourself over the sauce. Lasagna is a pretty easy recipe. Don't complicate it. Bon appetite!

If you're not much of a cook, which it sounds like youre not, just go to a place like Whole Foods or Trader Joes and buy a good quality jarred sauce. I'm of Italian descent and can make good sauce, but for something like this I will often use a jar.

Actually, cook the paste over medium, not med-low.

Careful with tomato paste, if you're a rookie. It must be cooked down to elimante the raw canned taste. Put it in a sauté pan over medium/med-low heat for a couple of minutes. Or start with the paste for your sauce in a larger pot and cook it first and and add some spices to the paste (dried, I assume, if you're limited on ingredients--oregano, basil, garlic or even onion powder...) then add the sauce and simmer.

I've used a recipe for bolognese that used milk (pioneer woman), so you could try adding that. If you have fresh onion and some carrots, you can throw them in the food processor and cook until soft before adding the other stuff.

Add a little balsamic to sweeten it. Not much - not more than 1-2 tbsp.

I am the pp from above. I would only use a tablespoon or two of the paste. Sauté some onions and garlic, then add the paste. Then everything else.

Sure. Add some fresh basil, dried oregano, parm cheese, and whatever else you like in sauce.
