Say goodbye to complicated meal prep with this Easy No Cook Noodle Lasagna—a no-bake twist on the classic Italian comfort food! This recipe combines no-boil lasagna noodles with creamy layers of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, all perfectly seasoned with fresh basil and spices. With just 20 minutes of prep time and zero cooking required, the lasagna softens and absorbs flavors overnight for a stress-free, chilled meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or potluck gatherings. It's versatile too—serve it cold for a refreshing take or reheat individual portions for a warm, cheesy dish. Quick, convenient, and absolutely delicious, this recipe is a must-try for lasagna lovers looking for a no-fuss option!
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 2 cups of shredded mozzarella, the grated Parmesan, chopped basil, egg, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly at the bottom of a 9x13-inch lasagna dish.
Place 4 no-boil lasagna noodles on top of the marinara sauce, overlapping slightly as needed.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles, then top with another cup of marinara sauce.
Repeat the layering process two more times: noodles, ricotta mixture, and marinara sauce.
Finish the top layer with the remaining marinara sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the lasagna tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. This will allow the noodles to absorb the marinara sauce and soften.
When ready to serve, cut into slices and enjoy as a no-cook, chilled lasagna or heat individual portions in the microwave if warm lasagna is preferred.
