Curly noodles bake beneath layers of tomato sauce, ricotta and browned mozzarella for a soft-centered casserole with crisp cheesy corners.

Briefly softening the noodle blocks makes Ramen Lasagna easy to layer and prevents dry corners. The curls hold pockets of tomato sauce while ricotta adds creamy breaks between the noodles and melted cheese.

Use plain instant ramen and discard the seasoning packets. Keep the first part of the bake covered so the noodles finish evenly, then uncover to brown the mozzarella.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles for until flexible but still firm, then drain.

  2. Mix ricotta with Italian seasoning and black pepper. Spread one-third of the marinara sauce in the dish.

  3. Layer half the ramen, half the ricotta mixture and one-third of the mozzarella over the sauce. Add half the remaining sauce, then repeat the noodles and ricotta. Finish with the remaining sauce and mozzarella.

  4. Cover with foil, tenting it above the cheese, and bake for . Uncover and bake for until bubbling at the edges with golden patches on top.

  5. Rest for so the layers settle, then scatter with basil and cut into six portions.
