Are no-boil lasagna noodles good? My answer is a resounding yes. But only if you adjust your expectations. Stop trying to make them taste just like the old-school kind. They are their own, glorious thing.
Use a wetter sauce than you normally would. That’s the secret. Don’t be shy with the liquid. Let the noodles drink it up. And please, please cover the dish with foil for the first half of baking. It traps the steam and ensures they cook all the way through.
So go ahead. Buy the box. Break the rules. Make a lasagna on a Wednesday night without a second thought. Your inner Italian grandmother might roll her eyes, but your taste buds—and your sanity—will thank you. Now, go get yourself some cheese.
