Our Favorite No Boil Lasagna

Submitted by sarahbeier

"I found this recipe a long time ago on a box or jar, we've made our own additions to it over the years. Everyone always comments on the great flavors and the secret is the sausage- we use breakfast sausage for a great slightly spicy slightly sweet taste. You can use any red pasta sauce that you like- we LOVE a roasted red pepper and onion flavor because it complements the sausage really well. Enjoy!"

I love the ease with which this went together; it took only a few minutes to saute the sausage/onion and then I just popped it in the oven. The lasagna noodles came out perfectly. I liked the texture they had from not boiling them; when I've boiled them before assembling the lasagna, they can often be way too soft. The proportions of cheeses, etc. to the recipe were great; the only thing I'd change is to use a little less sausage because I felt it overpowered the taste of the sauce a bit. Overall, it was enjoyed by all and will be a recipe I'll turn to for a delicious and quick meal.
