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.
