Wait.. do u have to cook the lasanga before the "baking procces?" or what.. Cause i see some recipes, doesn't need to be "cooked", it just cook in the oven... I am confused, do you cook it until al dente, and then shove it in the oven.. or skip that and cook it in the oven with all of the lasanga components?

I think you need to cook the pasta before hand.

You usually DON'T have to cook the pasta before baking a lasagna. The baking time and the richness of liquid is enough to cook it.
Some other types of baked pasta may recquire cooking.
