Home made pasta for lasagna

[Red Kell]

Hi all, I am trying my hand at making pasta for the first time today. I want to use it for lasagna. I suddenly realized I don't know if I can whack it in the lasagna raw, or do I have to cook it first?    If I need to pre cook..how?  So far out of my comfort zone!!

i do my raw just make sure the sauce is not to thick

[fundj&e]

Or you can cook it piece by piece

Just roll and use as you would for dried pasta make it a similar thickness good luck and enjoy

Wow, pasta is harder to roll by hand then I would have thought (or maybe it's my tiny rolling pin!).  Well it's all done and cooked, will be eating it later on in the week, so still don't know how it's gonna taste. Fingers crossed thanks for all the advice again

I have a pasta roller so have no idea how hard it is lol. Don't forget to let us know how it tasted.

Well, the verdict was....YUM! 
I will definitely need to get a pasta roller tho, as it was quite hard to roll by hand, and still a bit too thick. Very tasty tho, so much better than packet pasta

So you didn't end up cooking it did you Kell?  I have a pasta maker on it's way courtesy of a friend for my last birthday - the one you linked to fundj.

Hi JD, no cooking, just made sure the sauce still had a bit of juice still in it, and covered the pasta completly. I think it would be really easy to do once your new pasta maker arrives
