Main Ingredients
- 4 packets ramen noodles, discard flavor packet
- 4 cups tomato sauce
- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-x-8 inch casserole dish with baking spray and place it on a baking tray to catch any drips during baking.
- Prepare Noodles: Take each square of ramen noodles and break them in half through the middle to create smaller noodle sections suitable for layering in the dish.
- First Layer Assembly: Place one layer of the broken ramen noodles evenly on the bottom of the casserole dish. Spread 2 cups of tomato sauce over the noodles, then sprinkle 1 cup of grated parmesan and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
- Second Layer Assembly: Add a second layer of ramen noodles on top of the first. Pour the remaining 2 cups of tomato sauce over the noodles, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup parmesan and 1 cup mozzarella cheese evenly across the top.
- Baking: Bake the assembled dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has melted and started to brown slightly.
- Serve: Carefully remove the rame lasagna from the oven and serve immediately while hot and melty. Enjoy your comforting, cheesy meal!
Notes
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, ensure your tomato sauce and cheese are free from animal-derived ingredients.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like basil or oregano to the tomato sauce before layering.
- Use a sharp knife to cut through the lasagna cleanly when serving to preserve the layers.
- You can substitute the tomato sauce with a marinara sauce for a chunkier texture.
- To reduce sodium, select low-sodium tomato sauce and cheeses.
