Simple Lasagna – Only 6 Ingredients
With only 6 ingredients, this is the simplest lasagna you’ll ever make! And, this is a no boil the noodles recipe. Save yourself that hot job.
Lasagna is one of my husband’s favorite meals. I love it too, but let’s face it, making lasagna can be a lot of work. The prep time is usually lengthy and the baking, yeah, longer yet. This simple lasagna takes the work out of the meal but leaves in all the flavor.
I make lasagna infrequently because of those problems. (lots of work and long times) Maybe that’s why my husband always asks for it whenever I seek his input on the week’s menu. This recipe, however, is going to change things!

I tested this recipe several times, with different brands of pasta noodles. I wanted to make sure they would bake up properly. Guess what?! They do just fine without being boiled prior to assembly.
