📝 Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or braiser over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for ⏱️ 5 minutes.

Bring to a boil, then add the broken lasagna noodles. Press down to submerge them in the liquid. Cover, and reduce to medium. Simmer until pasta is al dente, about ⏱️ 15 minutes (bendy and nearly tender but not fully cooked), stirring occasionally and replacing the lid so the noodles don’t stick and burn. Test for doneness early and cook on as needed.
