Cooking Lasagna ?

I know we had a thread a little while ago talking about lasagna and how some of you make it. When I normally make lasagna it never holds up well, I guess because there is too much moisture when I bake it from cooking the noodles prior to assembly. I am making lasagna to take to a friend's house tonight who just recently had a baby. I bought the No Boil Lasagna noodles for the dish to see if that makes a difference. My question is, do I need to use more sauce when using these noodles? Do any of you ladies use the no boil noodles when making Lasagna?

I only use no-boil noodles.  They say you need extra sauce but I don't really use that much extra.  I like it to be a little more firm, and then others can add sauce after if they want.

It kind of depends on how big of a lasagna you're making but I feel like I might use two jars - a little less (and I make a HUGE pan).

Yeah, it's going to be relatively large I suppose. I am making it in one of the Extra large disposable lasagna pans so they can keep the leftovers. I bought 2 jars of sauce too, so if it works for you then it should work for me...I hope ;-)

With my mom's recipe I never precook the pasta, or use no-boil noodles. I would think you'd be okay without using much (if any) extra.
