No-Boil Lasagna Noodles SUCK
 

Really, they do. :mad: I decided to try them out for the first time tonight. I would not suggest them to anyone. The texture is all wrong - they feel like...I don't know, but it certainly doesn't seem like pasta I've been chewing!

Anyway.

Yuck. They also sound awfully processed.

I can't imagine such a thing. My mother still makes these huge ten-pound six-layer monster lasagnas every Christmas Day. Two pounds of sausage, 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef, three liters of tomato sauce, and enough ricotta and mozeralla cheese to give a Bottlenose Dolphin a heart attack. Accept no substitutes! :D :xoxo:

I have tried the rice that is 'ready to eat' in those microwavable bags....and those are foul as well. a very strange flavor and texture.

-Lis

and it smells like the dead - OY!

All of that no-cook **** is disgusting. I was in the regular old supermarket the other day, which I never set foot in because I try to eat healthy, and was appalled at packaged beef that was already cooked and just waiting to be warmed up. Just hanging there in a plastic package for you to pluck off the hook. People buy that ****? Vile. Just vile. I'll stick with Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.

What brand did you use? I use Barilla and they're delicious.

They were Barilla. I love their pasta, but I will buy regular noodles and boil them to my heart's content in the future. :nod:

Are you serious!? I've never heard of pre-cooked beef in a bag!... Sounds pretty gross! How fricken lazy do you have to be to buy that ****!

Well, they have the pregrilled chicken breast strips in the bag - and they are not that bad.

I kid you not. I even looked it up when I got home.

Precooked Seasoned Ground Beef
Take the wait and the worry out of ground beef with Tyson® precooked value-added ground meat products. Our beef crumbles, taco meat, and Sloppy Joe meat are all ready and waiting to expand your menu with the comfort of heat-and-serve ease. And each offers the consistency you need.

:eek:

But at least that **** is refrigerated. This stuff is not. It just hangs there...in the aisle...on a hook...at room temperature.

I thought the Barilla no boil noodles had a texture closer to homemade pasta than the boil kind. My roommate loves my lasagna too, well everyone does. :laugh: My homemade meatballs are the "secret" ingredient. Mmmm...

That's crazy, it takes all of 10 minutes to cook it!

I think it is essentially the same method as that used to make beef jerky. Lots of salt I guess.
