Boil or no-boil? I cooked two identical lasagnas side by side, where one is made with boiled sheets, and the other uses no-boil/oven-ready lasagna noodles. They both sauce, same pan, same oven. Here's what actually changed.
The "no-boil" and "oven-ready" boxes are the same product. The real difference isn't the label, but it's what boiling does to the sheets, and what skipping it asks your sauce to do instead. In this test I used a creamy white béchamel, which is the most forgiving sauce for no-boil sheets, so if they still come up short here, that tells you something.
