You cook it in a limited amount of water until the water is absorbed much like rice.

Has anyone tried this method using regular cook pasta?

When I make the no boil lasagna I use whatever brand of noodles I have, I don't buy the special ones and was wondering if this would work out the same.

I tried it several months ago and didn't care for it.

CC, I doubt I'd ever try it.

Why?

I

'Cause it reminds me of a LONG time ago when I'd been invited to someone's house for dinner. She was making beef strogonoff.

Anyway, I'd noticed that there wasn't much water in the pot that the noodles were cooking in, and as they plumped up, the water was sort of thick w/ starch and became almost non existent. She tasted them for doneness, then glugged a bunch of oil into the noodles to separate them.

Ugh.

So, that's all I can think of. Sorry!

A long time ago I tried this and personally, I prefer the regular cooking method with plenty of water.  When cooked in a limited amount of water, It has a noticeably "heavy" taste or something.  

But that's what cooking's all about, give it a try with just a little and see what you think.
