1 box no-boil lasagna noodles (you’ll have a few extra sheets leftover)
15oz. ricotta or cottage cheese
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 egg
1 pkg muenster cheese
1 package shredded mozzarella
1 jar marinara sauce
Method:
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with oregano, basil, garlic and egg.
In a 9×13 pan, layer: marinara sauce, lasagna noodles, ricotta mixture, muenster, shredded mozzarella and repeat, finishing with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella on the top layer. Add a bit of water to the marinara sauce jar (it will be mostly empty), shake it up and pour the water around the pan (this helps soften the no-boil noodles). Cover tightly with parchment paper and foil and bake at 400 degrees until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Can I substitute vegan options for this recipe? I think I can find vegan ricotta, mozarella, and provolone cheese if that could be a stand-in for the muenster. I’m fine with the egg, just no dairy.
I’ve never worked with nondairy cheese but if it’s meant as a substitute, I would imagine it works.
Thank u thank u … this is BRILLIANT…covering with parchment and tin foil and adding bit of water to steam noodles so they’re soft….AMAZING… I really wanted lasagna tonight and wasn’t looking forward to the crunch too noodles …especially after having spent 5 days in Rome and I said to myself let me check and see what busy in Brooklyn says … love it!! So Yum 😋
Woohoo!! So happy to hear!
How long would you say this needs to cook for?
about 30 minutes
All lasagna noodles work fine without cooking them. | never cover the lasagna. The noodles cook in the sauce.
Are you talking about shredded or slices of Munster cheese?
Either one works.
This is my kids favorite lasagna recipe. They literally dream of it. Thanks for sharing the recipe
Can I use tomato sauce instead of Marinara?
I wouldn’t, it has no flavor and it’s quite acidic.
