Lasagne Recipe Without Cooking Noodles
Description
Lasagne is a classic Italian dish that can be made with layers of noodles, cheese, and sauce. This version of lasagne is made without boiling the noodles. It is a great recipe for busy weeknights when you don’t have time to wait for the noodles to cook or for an easy way to make lasagne for a crowd. This no-cook lasagne recipe is also perfect for a make-ahead meal and can be assembled the day before and baked when you are ready to serve it.
The secret to this lasagne recipe is marinating the noodles in a flavorful combination of olive oil, garlic, and herbs. This helps to soften the noodles and infuse them with flavor. The marinated noodles are then layered with a cheese and vegetable filling and a savory tomato sauce. The result is a delicious, cheesy lasagne that doesn’t require any pre-cooking.
Ingredients
For the lasagne:
- 1 pound lasagne noodles
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 (24 ounce) jar of your favorite tomato sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the noodles, olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Stir until well combined.
4. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with a single layer of lasagne noodles.
5. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Top with half of the remaining tomato sauce. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese.
6. Top with another single layer of lasagne noodles. Spread with the remaining ricotta cheese mixture. Top with the remaining tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
7. Top with the remaining lasagne noodles. Sprinkle with the parsley.
