Over the years, I am often asked how to cook lasagna noodles without boiling them. Some people want a faster method, but most want to prevent breaking the noodles, while others just do not have a pot that is large enough. Using a large casserole dish, this method prevents breakage of the noodles which makes for a less stressful recipe and a large pot is not needed, just a long casserole dish. This method saves a little time because it doesn’t take as long to boil 2 quarts of water compared to a stock pot full of water. Meanwhile, I hope you find this method useful.

Inspiration:
Sometimes rather than being inspired by a desire for a particular food, I am inspired by what I need to use that I have on hand. My pantry is overflowing with gluten free pasta because I switched back to brown rice pasta. The ones that contain corn, I no longer tolerate well. Meanwhile, I had two boxes of lasagna noodles that were taking up too much room. So, I decided to make my husband lasagna. (I owed him a special birthday dinner. I had hives that week, but luckily I had made his cake in advance.)
Dairy-Free Substitutes:
Be sure to check out my Substitutes Page to grab the recipe for a wonderful cheese Dairy Free Ricotta Cheese Substitute. One of my veteran gluten free/celiac recipe testers raved about this recipe. I took her advice and increased the salt. You may be surprised at the star of this lovely mixture. It’s cashews! If you do not have a high-powered blender, use cashew butter instead.

Tips
Dairy-Free Ricotta Substitute: *Puree together 1/4 cup cashews (or sesame seeds for nut-free), 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 14 ounces drained and crumbled extra-firm tofu (such as Nasoya brand), and seasonings that compliment your dish (fresh basil, parsley, garlic, onion, etc.)
Dairy-Free Cream Cheese Brands: I heard Tofutti is wonderful. The second choice would be Go Dairy Free. I haven't tried or heard anything about Nasoya.
Dairy-Free Mozzarella Brand: Follow Your Heart (1st choice) Daiya (second choice)
