Ingredients
Scale
Ramen Noodles
- 4 packets ramen noodles, discard flavor packet
Sauce and Cheese
- 4 cups tomato sauce, divided
- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-x-8-inch casserole dish with baking spray and place it onto a baking tray; set aside.
- Prepare Noodles: Break each square of ramen noodles in half through the middle to create smaller pieces for layering.
- First Layer: Place one layer of ramen noodles on the bottom of the casserole dish. Spread 2 cups of tomato sauce evenly over the noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese followed by 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Second Layer: Add another layer of ramen noodles on top of the first. Spread the remaining 2 cups of tomato sauce evenly. Then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of parmesan cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake the assembled lasagna in the oven for 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is fully melted and golden on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, cheesy ramen lasagna.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different flavor.
- Adding fresh herbs like basil or oregano to the tomato sauce can enhance the taste.
- For a meatier version, add cooked ground beef or sausage between the layers.
- Use low-sodium tomato sauce to reduce the sodium content if desired.
- Make sure not to overcook the ramen noodles before assembling as they will bake further in the oven.
