I never cook the noodles before making lasagna and I never buy oven ready noodles. I bake it, covered, at 350F for about 45 minutes and uncovered for an additional 5 or 10 minutes. It should be absolutley fine.

I don't think the dinner is ruined. Pour a little extra liquid (such as tomato sauce or broth) over the top and let it soak in. Put the lasagna back in the oven on a low temperature (around 250 F) so the cheese doesn't burn. Let it stay in for about an hour and stick a knife in and check it. There's really not much difference between regular and no-bake. The other thing you can do is place a pan of water on a rack just below the rack of lasagna and make a foil "tent" over the lasagna to catch the steam. That will also soften the noodles. Good luck with the dinner. Most importantly, don't panic -- I'm sure it will be delicious!

I always use regular lasagna noodles instead of the oven ready
it may take a little longer because with regular noodles you are
supposed to pre-cook them at least I do. I believe if you layered
it right with plenty of sauce so the noodles do-not dry out it should be alright at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes. Good Luck and tell you husband I said Happy Birthday. If he is a good
husband he will not care of how it turns out.

You should still be alright. Just pour some extra sauce over it and set the oven on lower heat as usual and cook it for longer. You can check with a skewer if the lasagna sheets are well done.

stick to the recipe you have for time and temperature. Boiling noodles isn't mandatory nor that's it mandatory to alter the cooking temperature or time. only be optimistic to place a number of your sauce (between 3/4 and a million cup) interior the backside of your pan earlier you lay down the 1st layer of noodles

it will definitly be okay......check it at the end of the original cooking time & if noodles arent ready add a small amount of liquid & cover w/foil. check the tenderness of the noodles every 15-20 minutes after that
good luck

It's going to take a bit longer than you expected to cook, but it will be okay.
Keep your eye out for dry edges, and if it looks too dry, just give it a few drops of water in the corners of the pan.

It could be ok. Pour a little more sauce over the top - if the noodles are moist enough they will cook. If not, they might be alittle chewy.

You should have bought a ready made lasagna from the grocery store. It is the thought that counts anyways.
