Answers:
Your recipe calls for oven-ready lasagna noodles so all you have to do is layer everything in the same fashion as your slow cooker recipe but in a baking dish of any kind!. The noodle package should have directions on the temperature and time needed to bake these noodles but if not go ahead and bake at 375 for about 35-45 minutes!. Make sure to cover your baking dish with paper foil so the edges won't get all hard!. Remember when layering noodles also alternate the direction the noodles are pointing toward: if your noodles are going horizontal then the next layer should be vertical, this will help the lasagnas shape when cutting out slices!.
I'm sure it will come out yummy, Hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com

you would layer it just like any other lasagna and lasagna usually takes approx 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour 1/2 to cook,,,, 375Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would make it the same way, just replace the slow cooker with a baking dish!. Bake on 350 for an hour, or until tender!.
That does sound yummy :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
