Final Lilly recap and No Boil Lasagna Recipe

Yall, I finally totaled everything up last night from the Lilly sale and I save $1,000 plus the tax that we would have had to pay in North Carolina (Pennsylvania has no sales tax on clothes).  How awesome is that?!

Yesterday afternoon, I decided I should make Kevin a yum dinner since he has had a rough couple of weeks with work.  His favorite is lasagna and I have never made it for him.  Truth be told, I've only made it once before and it came out terrible so I had no "lasagna confidence."  Yesterday I just used the standard Muellers recipe on the box!  To go even further, I made garlic bread instead of salad because I knew this would make him REALLY happy.  Haha!  Let's just say this - we hardly ever do pasta in my house and never bread....for obvious reason...not the healthiest!  He was in for a big treat and surprise when he walked in!  

It turned out really good and we have enough for 2 servings last night and 7 more tupperware containers!  Crazy amount!

So here is the recipe:

No Boil Lasagna

8oz. lasagna noodles (1/2 box)
2 eggs
15 oz. ricotta cheese
½ cup parmesan cheese
2 cups of mozzarella cheese
52 oz. favorite sauce
1 lb. hamburger meat or ground Italian sausage
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brown meat
3. In a medium bowl, combine lightly beated eggs, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
4. In another bowl, combine browned meat with sauce.
5. In a 9x13 pan, spread 1 cup of meat sauce on the bottom.
6. Lay 1/3 of noodles on top of the meat sauce
7. Spread 1/2 of cheese mixture on top. Continue to layer.
8. Spread 1/3 of meat sauce.
9. Lay 1/3 of noodles.
10. Spread remaining cheese mixture.
11. Spread 1/3 of meat sauce.
12. End with the last 1/3 of noodles then top with last 1/3 of meat sauce.
13. Bake for 55 minutes at 350 degrees.
14. Take out and top with remaining mozzarella cheese and parsley flakes.
15. Bake for 5 more minutes or until cheese melts.
16. Let sit for 15 minutes prior to serving.
17. Enjoy!

  2. Sounds good! I recently found a lasagna recipe that came out really well too, which was good, because I was afraid to try making it! I also have a baked ravioli recipe that Steve loves and is super easy!
