No-Boil Cheesy Lasagna (Vegetarian) With Optional Meat Sauce

mliss29's Note:

Adapted the Martha Gooch package of regular lasagna. My sister says lasagna packaged as "no-boil" is a scam! :lol: I make the meat sauce by frying up 1/2 - 1 pound of meat (usually gound turkey), pouring a 26 oz can of pasta sauce in it, and heating it through.

This is a good recipe. The one I use is from R-F lasagna box and another one I've used is from a woman's magazine of years ago. It added about 1 c. water and here in CO I've found that works the best. I never made lasagna before I found these recipes. Adding most of the mozzarella to the ricotta mix works good too leaving some for the top.

*Reviewed for Aussie NZ Recipe Swap for July 08* Loved it. I made the meat sauce using chicken mince (ground chicken) and added in a diced onion and some garlic with the chicken. Then added chopped fresh basil to the sauce. I used gluten-free no-boil lasagne sheets and otherwise made according to the recipe. I didn't have any problems with the noodles not being cooked thoroughly- in fact they were perfect. The cheese mixture was a quick alternative to actually making cheese/bechamel sauce.

This was okay but a bit dried lasagna than we like. I added about 1/2 can of tomatoes on top to cover the noodles, but the noodles were still a bit crunchy when we ate the lasagna. Thanks for sharing though.
