    I too use the fresh sheets & have never boiled before & not once had a prob or anyone say anything. I always put a layer of either mince or cheese sauce on the bottom first....just cause my sis told me it stops them sticking. Ahhh I try not to make the sauces too thick also.

    I use the dried ones, i make the mince sauce part a bit liquidy so the sheets soak it all up. If i can i make mine the day before baking - its much yummier.
    I have never had a problem with my lasagne being dry. I have used the fresh sheets before and the top one was chewy.

    I always use the dry ones, and as others have mentioned, i put some of the bolognese sauce on the bottom first. I tend to make mine the night before, or early in the day and then cook it as I need it.

    I use the dry Barilla ones that say you don't need to pre-cook them. I always soak them in a dish of cold water while I am preparing the other ingredients (an hour or so). Then I drain them and pop them in the dish. Nothing is worse than underdone lasagne sheets, and I find that this method ensures that they are just right

    Thanks ladies. I guess my mince sauce is dry then, so the pasta has no liquid to soak up and soften.

    I guess, i'll still boil mine but i had wondered what you guys did.
