Lasagne Noodle
Lasagne noodles are wide, flat pasta sheets, typically made from durum wheat semolina and eggs. Their smooth texture and neutral flavor make them a perfect base for layering in baked lasagne dishes. Available in both fresh and dried forms, lasagne noodles offer a sturdy structure to hold rich sauces, cheeses, and fillings, ensuring a satisfying and hearty meal. Find dried lasagne noodles in the pasta aisle of your grocery store, or look for fresh pasta sheets in the refrigerated section, sometimes requiring pre-cooking or parboiling depending on the brand's directions before assembling your lasagne for optimal results.
Common Uses
- Lasagne noodles are primarily used to create layered baked lasagne casseroles, alternating with rich tomato sauce (like Bolognese), creamy béchamel, ricotta cheese, vegetables and ground meat. - Layer dried lasagne noodles into casseroles with your favourite fillings and bake in the oven to create hearty baked meals. - Fresh lasagne sheets can be used for making ravioli or other stuffed pasta shapes by cutting the noodles into smaller squares or circles. - Some cooks use them to make unique pasta chips or crisps by baking or frying small pieces of lasagne noodles until crispy.

Storage Tips
Uncooked lasagne noodles should be stored in a cool, dry place, like a pantry, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them in their original packaging or transfer them to an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing odors and moisture. Properly stored, dried lasagne noodles can last for 1-2 years beyond the "best by" date. Cooked lasagne noodles should be refrigerated in an airtight container and used within 3-4 days.
