Using Homemade Pasta in Lasagna Instead of No-Boil Noodles

Question

What prep or changes to the recipe should I do to my homemade pasta in order to substitute it for pre-cooked or no bake lasagna noodles?

Hi Joshua -
I assume you are referring to our Lasagna Bolognese recipe? We haven't tested this with homemade noodles, but I would probably follow the directions for soaking the noodles, but wouldn't soak them for the full 10 minutes. Just enough to moisten the noodles so they don't absorb too much of the sauce. Again, we haven't tested this in our kitchen, but that would be my advice based on the recipe notes. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.
