OUR FAVORITE NO BOIL LASAGNA



Our Favorite No Boil Lasagna image

I found this recipe a long time ago on a box or jar, we've made our own additions to it over the years. Everyone always comments on the great flavors and the secret is the sausage- we use breakfast sausage for a great slightly spicy slightly sweet taste. You can use any red pasta sauce that you like- we LOVE a roasted red pepper and onion flavor because it complements the sausage really well. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Always use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Buy high-quality lasagna noodles and fresh vegetables for a delicious and authentic lasagna.

  • Use a variety of cheeses for the best flavor. A combination of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese is classic, but you can also use other cheeses like fontina, provolone, or asiago.
