should the rice noodles be cooked before baking? Or do you put them in raw.
If you are using “no boil” noodles, then you just put them in “raw”, if you are not using “no boil” rice pasta, then you will need to boil them like regular pasta before you bake the lasagna. This dish turned out great! Way better than I expected!!!!! The tofu was a great addition and was a great sub for ricotta cheese!
Cant wait to try it. Ill take any excuse to use tofu!
