No boiling required in this easy make-ahead recipe. Just let the uncooked noodles absorb the liquid in the fridge overnight, then pop in the oven!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb mild bulk Italian pork sausage or ground beef
  • 1 jar (26 to 28 oz) tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 egg
  • 8 oz uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 package (16 oz) sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 1
    In 12-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Drain well. Stir in pasta sauce and water. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, chives, oregano and egg.
  • 3
    In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish or lasagna pan, spread 1 1/2 cups of the meat sauce. Top with half each of the uncooked noodles, ricotta cheese mixture and mozzarella cheese. Repeat with 1 1/2 cups meat sauce and remaining noodles, ricotta cheese mixture and mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover; refrigerate 12 hours or overnight.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Clever Cook: Just about everyone loves lasagna, but few would argue that its prep—boiling, draining and handling the hot slippery noodle—is a walk in the park. The beauty of this lasagna is that it lets you skip all those steps. When you assemble the dish a day ahead, the uncooked noodles have time to absorb the liquid and become tender. Voilà! Tasty lasagna without the hassle.
  • tip 2
    Instead of Italian sausage, try making this lasagna with ground beef instead.
  • tip 3
    For added flavor, use provolone cheese instead of the mozzarella.
