Did you know no-boil noodles were invented in the 1980s? It’s a modern marvel. Before that, you had to boil everything. Ancient Romans ate something like lasagna, and they definitely had to boil first. You are living in the future.
Another fun one: Boiled lasagna noodles were originally rolled by hand. Imagine boiling a giant sheet of dough. No wonder people were grumpy. Also, no-boil noodles are thinner. That’s why they cook faster. They are essentially glorified instant ramen. But in a classy Italian dress.
And here’s a quirky kitchen trick: you can use no-boil noodles to make lasagna cupcakes. Yes, in a muffin tin. They cook in 20 minutes. Try that with a boiled noodle. You can’t. No-boil wins the “fun party food” award.
