Ready-to-bake pasta

I’m glad if this works for you. From what I have read the RTB takes longer to cook. (c;

Scott, thanks for the heads up. Weird that Barilla tells us in one link that 20 minutes suffices and in another let bake 50-60 minutes. Would anyone trying this product report back their results, please?

There is one more consideration I have about the no-bake noodles… salt. Blanching dried pasta requires a fair amount of salt in the water… and with my fresh, a little less as I actually add some salt to my dough. This seems to be missing from the no-bake stuff.

We’re not food chemists/engineers. That said, the ready lasagna noodles are the same generic product as instant ramen — already cooked (at least partially) before arriving at packaging line, and then in consumer’s hands, easily revived with the right amount of moisture.

And the box of Barilla I recently bought says to bake for 35 minutes. These various “suggestions” for baking time give new meaning to the obnoxious instruction “Bake until done”!
