NO-COOK LASAGNA



No-Cook Lasagna image

No pre-cooking needed but your guests will never know! My adjustments to this recipe add more sauce and more cheese since I always seemed to run short when assembling this dish. This is a tried and true winner on Bridge night. For the best flavor I recommend Prego sauce flavored with Italian sausage - or brown some Italian sausage along with the ground beef for the sauce.

3 cups jarred marinara sauce
8 no-boil lasagna noodles
15 ounces ricotta cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce jar pesto
12 slices mozzarella
2 cups packaged precooked crumbled sausage
12 frozen meatballs, thawed and finely diced
2 pinches garlic powder
2 pinches red pepper flakes
1 cup grated Parmesan
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cover the bottom of a quarter sheet pan with 1 cup of the marinara sauce. Top with 4 of the no-boil noodles.

  • Be sure to season the ricotta cheese mixture well. This will add flavor to the lasagna.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the lasagna. This will create a more complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables and herbs in the lasagna.
