No boil noodles – lazy or #$@! brilliant?

I made a wonderfully aromatic lamb lasagna last night with fresh noodles that you don’t have to boil first.

The result was incredible – soft noodles that weren’t at all mushy and have that toothy give that makes lasagna stand out from other pasta dishes.

I know that there will be some of you who think that not having to boil them first makes it an inauthentic dish, but then is buying and boiling them any better?  Perhaps your version of authentic is to make everything from scratch.

Tell me what you think.

In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy my lasagna.  It’s always better the next day anyway…
