6-MINUTE MICROWAVE LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY
Making lasagna has never been easier! With the help of the microwave, you can have lasagna in no time at all! We par-cook the noodles to ensure they're cooked through and tender before layering with marinara sauce and a blend of cheeses. We kept our version vegetarian with spinach, but feel free to experiment with other ingredients, like cooked ground beef or sausage.

This is another of those recipes my mom got from the 1980's microwave cooking class. You don't pre-cook the noodles for this. This recipe pre-dates turntables. To save wear and tear on your microwave's turn table take the glass turn table plate out, remove the roller ring and then put the plate back in upside down. This recipe requires a microwave safe 9x13 baking dish. I use a Pyrex one.

Well, I did it - I made a no-boil-the-noodles microwave lasagna recipe from a 20+ year old memory combined with a little cooking smarts.

MICROWAVE LASAGNA
I think that microwaves first came out in the late 70's or early 80's. I was one of the lucky ones to get one back then. This was my favorite recipe from my cookbook that came with my new microwave. My family loved it and I've tweaked it thru out the years. Most of the tweaks are simple but include changing the original recipe...

SUPER EASY MICROWAVE CHEESE SAUCE FOR LASAGNA
Matt's lasagna is an absolute killer, but his bit of paper with the cheese sauce recipe keeps getting lost, so I'm posting it here for safekeeping. You can use tasty cheese in place of the cheddar if you prefer. The sauce is prepared in the microwave, then it goes in your lasagna then into the oven.
