No Boil Pasta

Here in sunny Italy they have been onsale for at least 20 years and as long as the sauce you use to make them is more liquid than usual they are perfect. In another response I read to let them stand for a while before putying in the oven and THAT is the trick Buon appetito!

I have. I used them while making crockpot lasagna. Never again. They were a totally different texture than what they usually are and just plain nasty to us. My husband, whose favorite food is lasagna, wouldn't eat them. Never again. Good Luck with yours..hope they turn out better than mine.

No boil pasta noodles taste alright and it sure solves your meal problem fast! We had some last night and my 16 year old son's reaction when he saw it was: OH, LASAGNA! Just make sure that there is enough liquid, so the pasta won't dry out, as it can get hard.

I make my lasagna without boiling the noodles. I don't buy special 'no boil' noodles- the regular ones are fine. I prefer my pasta a little on the firm side, so I like it a lot. I just use plenty of sauce, cover the lasagna for the first half of baking, and it comes out great. The top is slightly crunchy in the corners, but if you don't like it that way, just leave it covered for most of the cooking time. I've never done crock pot lasagna, but that sounds good. The noodles will cook in the sauce long enough for them to be tender.

i have used the no boil lasgne noodles and they came out just fine. no one could tell the differnece to be honest. i love love love lasagne and it is probably my favorite dish. i just hate making it as it takes too much work and the cheese ingredients are expensive unless they are on sale. can you please share this great crock pot recipe with us? i would love to know how to make it faster and easier. my italian relatives are probably turning over in their graves but todays lifestyle calls for quick and easy. i have to get a crock pot too.

Hey kats! I will be very interested here what you think of the new no boil lasagna! My girlfriend makes fun of me because I refuse to use the no boil lasagna when I make my lasagna! She says that they made the one where you only have to bake it for a reason and that I need to "move into the now" so I can skip the step of boiling! I just am uncomfortable about it! But I should do it because the noodles are always falling apart from overboiling! So please let me know how it comes out! I don't have a crockpock, but I do bake it in the oven! I wouldn't mind saving a step!

It was my first time to hear of no boil pasta. I really wanted to see it, how does it look?

No I have never had pasta that's not cooked in water. Do you mean pasta that is not cooked in water at all? Or do you add it to a sauce that already has water in it. So for me it is the same... Anyway I just don't understand yet how this pasta is cooked and why it is called no boil. The pasta has to cook and the only way I know to cook it is in water or in a sauce which is the same for me because the sauce is made of water. Well I will be interested to see how this works. Have a good day.

I have used the no boil lasagna noodles before and they didn't turn out too bad. I don't think it is like using real noodles but if you didn't know it you wouldn't be able to tell. And, it is way easier!!! I have actually made lasagna before using regular noodles and not cooking them first...I just use extra sauce and it came out just like the no boil type. I have never made a crockpot lasagna...I hope it turns out good for you.

That's what we do, no boil pasta. I am using a top brand of cookware, surgical stainless steel. I can baked. roast or grill even without an oven. I'ts an electric skillet. Prepare the ingredients, saute the ground beef first then the sauce, next is the pasta until done. Now I have my lasagna or baked mac.

No obtainable out here but I would love to try out this recipe.

I have tried the lasagna no boil pasta a couple of times but I personally did not like it very much, I found the pasta stayed a bit too tough for my tastes. But I only used it in making regular lasagna...if you were going to make lasagna in a crock pot where it has to cook for a long time then it might work out just fine.

I like no boil pasta. At home we often use no boil pasta. However, we haven't tried to cook lasagna. Usually, we make some no boil pasta round and fill it with stuffing like vegetables or minced meat or we scatter some minced scallion or leek on it and roll it then put them in steam pan. It's very delicious. You can have a try.

Yes, I've used no boil lasagna noodles, and they turned out great. Just as good as the original but you save the time and mess of boiling pasta in a separate pot. I didn't use the no boil lasagna noodles in the crockpot yet, but it was a regular bake in the oven lasagna and as I said, it turned out delicious.

I've never heard of these. I wonder if they could be used for making anything else other than lasagna?

I have seen them before, but I have never used them. I never boil my noodles before I make lasagna anyway though. I just add a little bit extra water in with my sauce and the extra water cooks my noodles. I am not sure about in a crock pot though.

I tried no boil lasagna once. I was not pleased, because I do not think I cooked it long enough in the oven. The pasta was not completely done. But I do think that by cooking it in a crock pot the pasta would get completely cooked. You must have a rather large crockpot, because it is hard for me to imagine cooking lasagna in a crock pot, and keeping the layers together. Please ley us know how it comes out.

well never heard of " no boiling need pasta " . but im keen on knowing how it is made . im a pasta luver and always boiling the pasta takes time . can u also tell me this reciepy in which we dont have to boil the pasta . pm me for ur reciepy too.

Hi there. I have not heard of it yet, this is the first time I had encountered that. And I think I have noticed it yet in the supermarket either if we have an item such as that available in the Philippines. But that is interesting, I mean, you will save you a lot of time when cooking lasagna. I love pastas and that's a great innovation. If you have already cooked and liked it, can you send me a copy of the recipe???.. hope to hear from you soon..

Nope, I never heard of no boil pasta. My mom always makes me pasta almost everyday. I usually eat lasagna or just pasta with sauce. Pasta is something very important in the Italian culture and that is why we eat it a lot. I hope the recipe comes out good and enjoy the food. Buon appetito !
