Ramen Lasagna Ingredients
- 4 packets ramen noodles, flavor packets discarded
- 4 cups tomato sauce, divided
- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-x-8 inch casserole dish thoroughly with baking spray for easy removal and place it on a baking tray for stability.
- Prepare Noodles: Take each square block of ramen noodles and carefully break them in half through the middle. These will serve as your ‘pasta sheets’ in the lasagna layers.
- Assemble First Layer: Lay one layer of broken ramen noodles evenly across the bottom of the prepared 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.
- Assemble Second Layer: Add the second layer of ramen noodles on top of the first cheese layer. Pour the remaining 2 cups of tomato sauce over this layer, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup parmesan cheese and 1 cup mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Bake the Lasagna: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tomato sauce is bubbling and the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the lasagna from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy your comforting ramen lasagna immediately.
Notes
- You can add cooked ground meat or sautéed vegetables between layers to customize the dish.
- For a spicier version, consider mixing chili flakes or hot sauce into the tomato sauce.
- Make sure to break the ramen noodles gently so they stay intact but fit well as lasagna sheets.
- Reserve some extra cheese for topping if you prefer a cheesier crust.
