Lasagna - No Boil image

Since the noodles aren't boiled first, this lasagna can be put together in a snap. There is a lot of sauce in this recipe which allows the noodles to pull moisture from the dish without drying the lasagna out. The layers are creamy, meaty, and delicious. Sometimes lasagna can be a little soupy when first cut into, but not this...
