When I saw a lasagna recipe that did not call for precooking the noodles, I was anxious to try this time-saving shortcut. Making some changes and additions to suit my taste, I developed this popular dish that I now call my own.

Ingredients

1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup water

Delicious. Used mild Italian turkey sausage, 2 cups of cottage cheese and 1 cup of ricotta. Easy, and really wonderful flavor.

Great recipe, and it's so much less hassle and mess not having to pre-boil the noodles. I've been using this method for years, and it works EVERY time. Anybody who says otherwise must not be following the baking instructions....or something.

Very good and easy to make. I add chopped onions and peppers when cooking the sausage in the first step.

This is our favorite lasagna recipe and so easy to make. Only 20 minutes and it's in the oven. We absolutely love it. Sent it to my family and they love it as well. Thanks so much for sharing it!

This one is an all-time classic in our family. Have made it at least 10-20x. I substitute mozzarella for the Parm (not a big Parm fan), use the chive cottage cheese but that's just to get a little more bang from the cottage cheese, and I use bulk Italian Sausage rather than the pork sausage. Even though I make those changes, the ratios of everything and the flavors are just right and this turns out perfect every single time. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It's on Page One of my All-Time Favorites cookbook and will never make a different Lasagna recipe again!
