Today was Lasagna day. So, early I was off to the store. My first stop was Gary’s, the local meat market. Having secured the needed ground beef, it was off to Meijers. A quick swing through the dairy section yielded Parmigiano Reggiano, Ricotta and Mozzarilla cheese. Next isle, International foods. Tomato paste and Lasagna noodles. It is there that I spied it; Oven ready Lasagna noodles!!
What a neat concept! Lasagna noodles ready for the oven! Great!! My biggest complaint with making Lasagna is cooking the noodles. And, it is not that I mind cooking the noodles themselves, rather, it is the size of the pot needed to cook the noodles.
Large noodles require a large pot and the large amount of time needed to bring a large amount of water to a boil. And then, after words, cleaning the large pot as it is too large for the dishwasher. But, if I had noodles that were oven ready, the whole pot issue would vanish!
I picked up the box of noodles to check the price. After all, the more that a food is processed, the more it costs. If the cost is too high, I may opt for the inconvience of the pot and conventional noodles. But wait, the cost is the same! 🙂 Oh happy day! Lasagna without the hassle of the large pot. What will they think of next? Sliced bread?
As I am starting to put the noodles into my cart, I hear a noise. It was the sound of dried noodles in a box. If these noodles are oven ready, how come they sound like the regular, dried noodles? Hum. As a matter of fact, as I peak through the little window in the box, they look like the regular dried Lasagna noodles. I would have expected Oven Ready Lasagna noodles to be already cooked as in already to go into the oven as in “oven ready”. Soft and pliable oven ready. But this appears not to be the case.
A quick survey of the box yields a recipe for, you guessed it, Lasagna. As I read through the recipe, it requires the use of 8 oz of oven ready Lasagna noodles with their special “oven ready” Lasagna sauce. Now, the question that enters my mind is what do they mean by oven ready Lasagna sauce? Do you have to use their sauce in order to take advantage of the “oven ready” noodles? Will my favorite, tried and true, sauce work with these noodles or will the noodles come out tough and chewy? Suspecting the worst, I continue reading the box.
There at the bottom it read “cooking instructions”. Surly this must be something simple as soaking the noodles in boiling water for 15 minutes, much like I do for the dried mushrooms that I get at the asian market. But alas, “bring 4 qts of water to a boil and add the noodles”. Well, it looks like a large pot again or risk tough noodles.:-(
Out of curiosity, I grab a box of conventional Lasagna noodles to compare the difference. Four quarts of boiling water, check. Stir until done, check. Cook time, ah, now there is the difference. Oven ready, 8-10 minutes, conventional, 10-12 minutes.
Somehow, being able to save 2-4 minutes on cook time is really insignificant compared to the amount of time needed to boil the water and clean the pot. I opted for the conventional Lasagna noodles to use with my favorite sauce. As I expected, it took me 15 minutes to bring the water to a boil and 15 minutes to clean the pot afterwards. Perhaps next time I will take the chance and try the oven ready noodles with my non-oven ready sauce. But for now, coventional sauce with conventional noodles.
Good infomation here, thanks.
