lasagne

Do you have to cook the lasagne sheets before making the dish?

[wiggal]

nope

you cook the meat and sauce, then layer it with the sheets from the packet, then put in the oven until cooked :)

Some lasagne needs cooking first it will tell you on the pack. Even with the precooked I always give it a quick soak ,it gives a better dish at the end.

ah right!
ive never met ny that needs cooking first!
i cant cook anyway, so when i do try & make lasagne it seems to taste great anyway compared to my other attempts!!

My family in Italy par cook them in salted water first....its a bit of a pain but the end result is fantastic!

With regard to Normy I did read the instructions and it said that it was not necessary to precook the sheets but I might prefer to do so . Hence my enquiry. Thank you for being so helpful!! Many thanks to the other answers. I did precook them in the end and the result was fantastic.

i have never pre cooked the sheets and its always turned out fine for me.try doing it both ways and see if theres any difference.

hi, i always soak the pasta in hot water and a dash of olive oil to stop them sticking for about 15 mins, i hope this helps xxx
