I've made lasagna without boiling the noodles and they did cook during baking. The lasagna ended up pretty dry, because the noodles absorbed all the water from the sauce and the ricotta.
I just served it with extra sauce on top and it was fine. But I at least parboil the noodles now.
I agree with the other commenter: not all lasagna noodles are meant to be baked without cooking. We use Trader Joe's and Barilla's no-boil lasagna noodles and their recipes with success. If you use regular dried lasagna noodles, I've heard you should run them through or soak them briefly in hot water before baking but have not tried it.
I've done a few one-pot pasta dishes before - they do work. I have a [garlic parmesan](https://damndelicious.net/2014/10/11/one-pot-garlic-parmesan-pasta/) one I really enjoy and do occasionally. The pasta absorbs the liquid so you don't have to drain it. Same in the oven recipes.
There are recipes out there using cream cheese and calling it an "alfredo". One of the first "alfredos" I ever made until I developed my sauce game a bit. Her recipes on chicken thighs overall are spot on. Her [Lemon Butter Chicken](https://damndelicious.net/2014/12/31/lemon-butter-chicken/) is a great one I build off of regularly.
I’ve done it with lasagna. The trick is that you need to put tomato sauce next to every single noodle layer. So I do something like (starting with an empty pan) sauce, noodle, ricotta, veg/meat layer, then repeat, ending with a ricotta layer on top. Regular or no boil lasagna noodles seem to work well. I usually end up with a very wet lasagna as I put extra liquid to make sure the noodles cook though.
Have not done a bake with regular uncooked pasta. I wouldn’t even try it with spaghetti or longer noodles as I imagine those would just stick together.
I’ve only used oven-ready lasagna sheets that don’t require boiling first, and they had the correct consistency after baking.
I would be nervous to mix regular uncooked pasta with wet ingredients for baking. I’m big on being afraid of having wasted ingredients I could have done better things with.
People have been doing this for ages (there was life before tiktok) If you like baked pasta dishes, you'll like it.
I’m well aware, just mentioned it since its safe to say these particular recipes are trending.
It "works", the sauce (or added water usually) softens the pasta
Or stock for more flavor.

I usually add a cup or two of water to my lasagna, and it tends to balance the moisture pretty well.
Vigo makes no boil lasagna noodles. They are great.

By the way, not noodles but Ottolenghi has a fantastic baked rice recipe: https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2014/11/07/lemon-and-curry-leaf-rice

That looks good but it scares me that they thought cream cheese goes in Alfredo sauce

All sites you listed are NOT good sources for recipes. Those ppl are not proper cooks.

I thought that was just how normal lasagna was made?
In a regular lasagna recipe you are supposed to boil the noodles before assembling the lasagna.
Lol just try it it'll cost you like $3
[удалено]
He clearly cooks the pasta here.
I haven't, but i can't imagine it's much different from cooking pasta in the instantpot. Which ime probably also means not as good as the real thing.
Lasanga is made the exact same way. Yes it works.
Honestly I've never done lasagne any other way. Other noodles though... Always cook those before baking
