This is the recipe my mom made when I was growing up, and it is our family’s favorite for well over 40 years.

Love it! This is the first recipe I ever used for lasagna about 20 years ago, and the only one I’ve ever used since! It’s easy to vary the recipe and make it a veggie lasagna with spinach, mushrooms and zucchini, or throw in a few veggies with the sauce, and I always brown the meat with onion and garlic to make it more flavorful. My sister recently called me to ask for “my special lasagna recipe” lol!

In response to Carol I have been looking for that same recipe forever. I use to make it all the time actually the first time I made lasagna was the microwave one and have not been able to find it. I remember I had cut it off the box but now I can’t find that.. I have tried pulling it up many ways and can’t find it either. I don’t know if these noodles can use them in the microwave. I thought maybe I was crazy. Glad someone else remembers it too. I loved that it cut down the cooking time too.

I recall using this recipe years ago (directions were right on the Golden Grain pasta box), but I distinctly remember there was a
“microwave twist” which allowed the cook to microwave the prepared recipe for either 15 or 30 minutes, then finishing off in the oven. This method cut down the cooking time quite a bit, and didn’t impair the finished lasagne quality one bit. Did I just imagine there was a way to make this using a microwave shortcut?

So much easier than dealing with boiled lasagna noodles! And it guarantees that the lasagna isn’t too watery. I’m making this for dinner (at family request), and throwing some steamed kale in there just because.

Can you prepare this lasagne using no boil noodles and bake the next day?

Hi Lorie, This recipe calls for our regular Golden Grain Lasagna, so there are no special varieties necessary. We’re glad you like the recipe!

Do you use special noodles or just layer the regular Golden Grain noodle uncooked? I do like the Golden Grain recipe the best.

This recipe used to be printed right on the lasagna box but it’s not anymore why?

Exceptionally good, better than any I’ve ever made. The only thing I did different was to add a 1/2 TBS. of Italian herbs to the pasta sauce.

I’ve been making traditional lasagna every Christmas for about 10 years. This year I decided to try this “no boil pasta” recipe with a little apprehension since I didn’t test make it first. I must say it turned out great, better than any recipe I used where I boiled the pasta! My son said it was the best I’d made also. Note, one thing I did was add a 1/2 TBS. of Italian herbs to the pasta sauce. Thank you Golden Grain!

Yes Lanae, you’re using the meat-sauce mixture as the first layer in your lasagna.

I guess the one cup of meat sauce is after the meat has been browned and the sauce mixed in with it?

I’ve made this many times and it’s so easy and tasty – I’d recommend this one over any others hands down!

Patti – You have a great eye, thank you for catching that. The recipe calls for 6 1/2 cups of sauce, or 52 ounces, so that was a typo in our recipe. We’ll get it fixed right away!

Just a question, recipe says 5-1/2 cups (52 oz) of sauce. 5-1/2 cups is 44 oz. Which is correct?

I’ve been making this recipe for years now. Always a hit with family & friends. As noted, let the lasagna sit for 15-20 minutes after removing from the oven. Otherwise it will be too soupy when you cut it. Great & easy recipe!

Haven’t made lasagna in years, but the opportunity arose and I’m making your recipe tonight! My daughter, age 39, requested this favorite childhood dinner! I don’t remember eggs being part of the ingredients, but not a problem! Thank you for keeping this recipe up front and available!
