Description
This fun and unexpected Ramen Lasagna is a creative twist on the classic comfort dish. Instead of traditional pasta sheets, you’ll use ramen noodles layered with rich tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. It’s fast, budget-friendly, and surprisingly satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 packs of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 4 cups tomato sauce, divided
- 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Pro Tip: No need to boil the ramen, just layer them dry. The sauce softens them in the oven.
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and place it on a baking sheet.
- Prepare noodles: Break each ramen block in half for easier layering.
- First layer: Place half the noodles in the dish. Cover with 2 cups tomato sauce, 1 cup Parmesan, and 1 cup mozzarella.
- Second layer: Add the remaining ramen. Top with the rest of the tomato sauce, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
- Bake uncovered: 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
- Rest: Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Serving Ideas: Great with garlic bread, salad, or roasted veggies.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes or bake at 325°F until warmed through.
