on one of the later Good Eats show: I didn't think it looked all that appealing.

There are lasagna noodles on the market that don't need to be boiled first: they kinda work, if you don't mind a somewhat cardboard texture.

Are you thinking of using the pre-made ravioli in place of the lasagna noodles, then covering them with a sauce? I'm not a purist, especially when it comes to Italian or Italo-American food - they both come down to pasta with cheese and a sauce: the pastas are just different shapes!
