Main Ingredients
- 4 packets ramen noodles, discard flavor packet
- 4 cups tomato sauce, divided
- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8-x-8-inch casserole dish with baking spray. Place the dish on a baking tray and set aside.
- Prepare Noodles: Break each square of ramen noodles in half through the middle to fit into the dish.
- First Layer: Place one layer of broken ramen noodles at the bottom of the casserole dish. Spread 2 cups of tomato sauce evenly over the noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Second Layer: Repeat the layering by adding the remaining ramen noodles on top of the first cheese layer. Spread the remaining 2 cups of tomato sauce, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup parmesan and 1 cup mozzarella cheese over the noodles.
- Bake: Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve immediately and enjoy your comforting ramen lasagna.
Notes
- Using low-moisture mozzarella will help prevent excess water in the lasagna.
- You can add cooked ground beef or vegetables for a more hearty version.
- If you prefer spicier, add chili flakes or hot sauce into the tomato sauce.
- This recipe works well with fresh or quick-cook ramen noodles that are uncooked before layering.
- Cooling the lasagna slightly before cutting helps maintain its shape when serving.
