How to Reheat Lasagna
In order to reheat lasagna leftovers in a pan, cover it with foil and bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in an oven that has been preheated. Bake it until the internal temperature reaches 165º F. This should take at least half an hour, but it might take up to fifty minutes, depending on how much is left.
Individual slices can also be reheated in the microwave on a plate.
No-Boil Lasagna Using Regular Noodles
I’m sure this tip is well known, but once I discovered it, making lasagna was never the same. It’s true that regular noodles can be used to make lasagna without having to be boiled beforehand. It’s pretty amazing.
I’ve only ever made traditional lasagna once, and I immediately concluded it was too difficult for me to do again. I just didn’t think it was worth it to fiddle with boiling a big pot of water and burn my fingers on hot lasagna noodles.
My entire perspective was altered when I discovered that you could still make delicious lasagna without boiling the noodles. This method makes cooking lasagna a snap. Try it. I know you’ll feel the same.
I should point out that I only used homemade tomato sauce for this recipe, which has a tendency to be a little runnier than tomato sauce from the store. Although I don’t think it matters much, if you think it might, you can add 1/4 cup of water to your sauce to give the noodles a little extra liquid to absorb while they cook.
How to Make No-Boil Lasagna:
Preheat oven to 375. Brown ground beef.
Spoon a tiny bit of tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan that has been greased.
Add a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles to pan.
To the pan, add half the cottage cheese, half the Parmesan cheese, and one-third of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
To the pan, add half of the ground beef and one-third of the tomato sauce.
Finish off the noodles by adding the last of the shredded mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and noodles.
Cover lasagna with foil and place dish on baking tray.
Bake for 1 hour.
