A: The directions on the box indicate that the Lasagna Pasta can be used both raw and boiled. However, you will get a better texture if you boil it for 4-6 minutes before using it in your dish.

1. Lasagna is one of the oldest forms of pasta recorded. It probably corresponds to the Latin "Lagana" (which in turn was derived from the Greek "laganon": large, flat sheet of pasta cut into strips) and it began to be known as "Lasagna" probably after the year 1000 AD.

If you are eating soon after making, say in 2 hours time, pre soak the lasagne sheets in hand hot water for about 10 minutes before layering. This softens the pasta. If you are making it 12 hours ahead you could use no cook dry lasagne.

Just layer your lasagna the way you normally would, then bake in the oven. The pasta sheets will cook and soften inside the lasagna. You might want to keep your sauces a little runnier then you normally would, as the dry lasagna sheets soak up a bit more liquid then the cooked ones.

Why De Cecco Is a Better Dry Pasta. The reason De Cecco is preferred is because it's a higher-quality product. While both De Cecco and Barilla hail from Italy and use 100% semolina flour (the flour of choice for dry pasta), De Cecco takes an extra measure: they use bronze dies to cut the pasta.
