Notes
- Use plain ramen noodles and discard the flavor packets to avoid overpowering the tomato sauce flavor.
- For extra flavor, consider adding Italian herbs such as basil or oregano into the tomato sauce.
- You can substitute the tomato sauce with marinara sauce for a richer taste.
- Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes after baking to set before slicing.
- To make this dish gluten free, use gluten free ramen noodles and verify that the tomato sauce and cheeses are gluten free.
