This recipe was published in 2010 and it still continues to be one of my favorite lasagna recipes. The noodles don’t need to be precooked at all. They do that while the lasagna is cooking in the oven. There have been many times when I forgot to add the extra cup of water to the sauce mixture and I would add that in before cooking the lasagna. Directly into the pan, around the edges. It still turns out good!
Another time-saving shortcut I use to make this lasagna is to cook some chicken breasts in my Instant Pot. The chicken breasts are done in 20 minutes and are easy to shred. Make the sauce, cheese mixture, and layer everything in the pan. Boom, done. Now all you have to do is be patient and wait for an hour. There’s just something about buffalo chicken though. It’s like cauliflower and can be turned into anything or made into any recipe!
Note: In the video, I used marinara sauce instead of crushed tomatoes but the recipe below says crushed tomatoes. Crushed tomatoes is 0 points. Also, I forgot to add in the 1 1/2 cups of water when I made this video and added it towards the end. The sauce cooks the noodles in the oven.

Sorry, I updated the recipe ingredients a couple of days ago but forgot the instructions. This recipe is very versatile and you can use either or. It is fixed now.

So confused
The instructions say “spaghetti sauce,” yet the ingredients list crushed tomatoes. Then the ingredients list pepper jack, but the instructions mention blue cheese crumble.
