MUELLER'S QUICK "NO BOIL" CHEESY LASAGNA



Mueller's Quick

This recipe came from the back of a Mueller's noodles box. I love it because it is both delicious and quick! No need to boil the lasagne noodles. Just layer the lasagne and pop it in the oven! You can save even more time by using prepared sauce (see tip at bottom of recipe). This lasagne can be made with or without meat. You can also add more vegetables to boost the healthy quotient!

2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 cups sliced mushrooms (optional)

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces mueller's lasagna noodles, uncooked (9-10 noodles)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided (I always use closer to 4 cups)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • In large skillet over medium-high heat cook meat, stirring, until lightly browned.
  • Add onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, mushrooms, tomato juice and basil.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine ricotta, egg, salt and pepper.
  • Spoon 1-1/2 cups sauce into 13x9x2" baking dish.
  • Top with half the uncooked lasagne, all the ricotta mixture, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1-1/2 cups sauce, then remaining lasagne.
  • Top with remaining sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake 15 minutes longer or until lightly browned.
  • Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
  • TO USE PREPARED SAUCE: In steps 2 and 3, omit onion, garlic, tomato sauce and basil. Add 1 (30 ounces) jar prepared spaghetti sauce with the mushrooms and tomato juice to browned meat. Complete as directed.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses in your lasagna. This will give the dish a more complex flavor. Some good options include mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, and Asiago.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. They should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Make sure to use a good quality tomato sauce. This is the base of the lasagna, so it's important to use a sauce that you enjoy.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. Lasagna is a rich dish, so don't be afraid to use a lot of cheese.
  • Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the lasagna to set.

Conclusion:

Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a lasagna recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a hearty and delicious meal, give lasagna a try.
