Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 said she had done something terribly wrong, as the lasagna noodles were crunchy! Silly me, I had neglected to tell her to COOK the lasagna noodles before layering them in the pan! LOL! ===================================== I have never ever cooked my lasagne noodles. When I start to put the lasagne together, I put a layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan, then the cheeses, etc., then another layer of noodles and I put sauce on that, but put a little more than anyone would normally use. This way the extra soaks into the noodles while baking and softens them up without being dry. My lasagne always stands tall and proud, never falls apart and my friends always ask me to make that for parties. They all cook the noodles and it always comes out like mush. Never tried the no-cook noodles. Why pay more when you don't have to cook the regular ones either. Just add a bit more sauce. My Italian grandmother taught me this when I was a kid. Only useful pearl that she ever passed down to anyone. LOL Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Oh yeah I've heard about this tho I've never done it myself. I thought it was an urban legend LOL! You saturate the lasagna noodles with sauce and the oven does the rest. I am glad to hear it truly works! Saves alot of fuss parboilin' up those suckers beforehand. Plus all that damn steam makes my hair frizz! I have tried those no-cook ones and they didn't taste right to me.
