Honestly, one of the best I've found is actually on the box of Ronzoni Lasagne noodles. Both my sister and I cook it and it's just perfect, everybody loves it. the one I'm talking about is an easy no-boil recipe - you don't have to pre-cook the noodles.

I found the recipe online in case you don't have Ronzoni in your store - any brand will work with this recipe
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375°. In a saucepan, brown ground beef, drain excess fat, add 1 quart spaghetti sauce and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. In a large bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, beaten egg, Mozzarella cheese, 1/3 cup water, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes and nutmeg. Add salt and pepper if desired. TO ASSEMBLE: Use RONZONI Lasagna strips uncooked, but rinse in hot water. Layer in a 9 X 13 baking pan. Approximately 4 RONZONI Lasagna strips will fit in a pan for a single layer - 3 lengthwise and 1 crosswise. LAYER AS FOLLOWS: 1 2/3 cup sauce, RONZONI Lasagna strips, ½ cheese mixture, 1 2/3 cup sauce, RONZONI Lasagna strips, rest of cheese mixture, 1 2/3 cup hot sauce, RONZONI Lasagna strips, remaining sauce, top with ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375° covered with aluminum foil, for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 more minutes. IMPORTANT: let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting. Serves 6-8.

Ingredients:
· 16oz. pkg. RONZONI Lasagna
· 1 qt. Spaghetti sauce
· 1 lb. ground beef
· 1 cup water
· 1 15 oz. container ricotta cheese
· 1 egg, beaten
· 8 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese
· 1/3 cup water
· 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
· 1 tbsp. parsley flakes
· Dash of nutmeg (this is optional- we didn't use it)
· Salt, pepper to taste - (not too heavy, there's salt in the cheese)
· 1/2 cup parmesan cheese


And I'm giving you one other idea - that's a lot of work, and in case this looks too daunting, look in the frozen food section for Michelangelo's or Stouffer's Lasagna, they are both pretty decent - here's a photo of what the boxes look like.
