I made lasagna last week, and I have a whole bunch of no-boil noodles left over. Any ideas on what to do with them? I make traditional lasagna once or twice a year, so won’t be making it again anytime soon and want to use these before they’d go bad…any suggestions?
Re: Leftover lasagna noodles
You can use them in club sandwich. Boil them and made chunks and add to sandwich
Alternatively make some pasta dish other than lasanga

I’m not sure if I can boil these, they’re meant to be used directly in lasagna (without boiling the noodles first). Hmmm ill try it soon

What about manicotti?
Leftover lasagna noodles
You can make lasagna “roll ups” with the leftover no boil lasagna noodles by soaking them in boiling water
Lasagna Roll Ups
1 package no-boil lasagna noodles (I highly recommend Barilla 16 oz).
1 tub of part-skim (lower fat) Ricotta
1 16 oz package shredded Mozzarella
Freshly grated Parmesean - 2 cups
1 1/2 jars of your favorite tomato-basil spaghetti sauce (or, make your own)
Basil leaves - 1 - 2 Tb fresh is better, cut into ribbons but 2 Tb of dry will do as well
Parsley leaves - 1 Tb fresh is better but 1 Tb dry will do as well
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
For the cheese filling:
Combine ricotta, 1 cup Parmesan, mozzarella, eggs, salt, pepper, and herbs in medium bowl; set aside.
To assemble:
Pour 1 inch boiling water into 13 by 9-inch broilersafe baking dish, then add noodles one at a time. Let noodles soak until pliable, about 5 minutes, separating noodles with tip of sharp knife to prevent sticking. Remove noodles from water and place in single layer on clean kitchen towels; discard water in baking dish and dry baking dish.
Spread bottom of baking dish evenly with 1 1/2 cups sauce. Using soupspoon, spread 1/4 cup cheese mixture evenly onto bottom three-quarters of each noodle (with short side facing you), leaving top quarter of noodle exposed. Roll into tube shape and arrange in baking dish seam side down. Top evenly with remaining sauce, making certain that pasta is completely covered.
Cover with aluminum foil. Bake until bubbling, about 40 minutes, then remove foil. Remove baking dish, adjust oven rack to uppermost position (about 6 inches from heating element), and heat broiler. Sprinkle manicotti evenly with remaining Parmesan. Broil until cheese is spotty brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Cool 15 minutes, then serve.
Leftover lasagna noodles
Adjust the recipe quantities for however man noodles you have left in your box…it’s a great way to use up leftovers too in the roll ups.
