NMmommy said:I love to make Lasanga in my Rect baker. My noodles are always to short. I never had this problem with my other pan. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a longer noodle out there?
jenniferknapp said:I love that there is an entire thread about noodles!! (PS: I love my carbs!!)
Nope, it doesn't stain! AND, you will be able to eat the corners cuz they won't be hard as rocks! Plus, you won't have to soak your burnt on lasagna pan for 3 days to clean it!! The first time I made lasagna in my stone, my Mom was there to help clean it out and THAT is what sold her on stones!!pcchris said:Ive never made lasagna in my baker - the sauce doesn't stain the stone??

Marg said:I had a chuckle when I read this post - I just made lasagna in the rectangular baker last night!
I arrange my noodles the same way Janet does!
BTW, can you guess what we're having for dinner tonight??
jenniferknapp said:And while we are on a thread about noodles, isn't it funny how kids won't eat some shapes? As if they taste any different.... if you look at me, you could tell I was never picky about mine
What about boiling some extra noodles when you make his type and bag up some portions just for him, I'm sure if you drained the noodles good and put them in the right type of freezer bags and froze them, then you could make what you want for the noodles and then just pull out a small bag portion for him, zap in the microwave, and top the stroganoff on his, but you have what you want too! Makes it where your not making a big fuss and everyones's happy!Tree said:That sounds just like my son. He will eat spagetti only on garlic bread. Then when I make my stroganoff he won't eat it unless it is made with the seashells. I would love to use other shapes just for the varity but if I want him to eat it I can't.

cheaper than the specialty ones and works just as well.

jenniferknapp said:Okay, I need your recipe! I love to cut a step here and there
Teresa Lynn said:Like most of the stuff I make I really don't have a "recipe" I just do it !
lasagna
Brown 1 1/2 # ground beef & 1 # Italian sausage (I prefer Owens)
Drain, saute with 1 large chopped onion
Combine 1 24 oz carton cottage cheese with 4 eggs, 1 container of ricotta, 1 cup fresh grated parmesan & 2 handfuls of shredded mozzarella, 4 cloves of minced fresh garlic and some dried parsley flakes.
In batter bowl I mix 4 cans of tomato sauce, 1 can paste, 1 1/2 tsp fennel seeds and Italian seasoning.
I alternate the layers in my pan with:
sauce

I do this until I run out of ingredients Before it finishes baking I add more mozzarella

This could be due to the size and shape of your rectangular baker. Sometimes, rectangular bakers are longer and narrower compared to other pans, which may cause the noodles to not fit properly.
One solution is to break the lasagna noodles in half before cooking. This will allow them to fit better in the rectangular baker and still create layers in your lasagna.
Yes, you can try using no-boil lasagna noodles. These noodles are shorter and designed to fit in smaller or irregularly shaped baking dishes.
Yes, egg roll wrappers can be used as a substitute for lasagna noodles. However, they may not fit perfectly in a rectangular baker and may require some trimming or overlapping to fit properly.
You can try looking for specialty or gourmet grocery stores, as they may carry longer lasagna noodles. Alternatively, you can also try online retailers for a wider selection of pasta sizes and shapes.
