What's the best way to break the lasagna noodles without them flying all over the kitchen?

Gosh, you'd think this had happened to me. Ha! Put the noodles in a stack on top of a dishcloth. Fold the cloth around them, center it on the edge the counter and push until they break (you can do this in sets of 4 or even 2 noodles if that works better for you). Don't worry if they aren't in perfect halves - nobody will Ever Know.

Can I use no boil noodles for this recipe?

Nope, you need the originals. Those no boil noodles work by absorbing the sauce as a traditional lasagna cooks in the oven, and our noodles are going directly into our soup bowls!

Do you have a recipe for tomato sauce if I don't want to use a jarred kind?

Why, YES! I modestly call it The Best Tomato Sauce in the World ...because it is, and it is super simple to make.
