Try the Barilla “no boil” lasagna noodles next time. You make your lasagna the exact same way EXCEPT you skip cooking the noodles ahead of time. The “no boil” noodles bake in the oven and the lasagna comes out delicious. Love it when I can skip a step and make dinner quicker.
I’ll have to look for those!
Try swapping the pasta sauce for Alfred & the beef for chicken. My aunt introduced the family to Chicken Alfredo Lasagna & it’s become a tradition at family gatherings now. Super yummy & a nice change of pace from traditional lasagna.
That sounds good!
