This super interesting Viral TikTok Ramen Lasagna has been on our radar for quite some time.
As a recipe blog that tests out socially shared recipes and lets you know how to make them, this one was equally shared in a positive and negative light.
I think the idea of using ramen over traditional Italian pasta noodles freaked people out – however, they were equally curious if this college-student recipe could hold its weight.

Sweet and savory, this instant noodle lasagna was overall fast to make and, while a bit bizarre (and def NOT a traditional Italian dish), was still a lot of fun and worth the make.

Did TikTok Ramen Lasagna work for us?
We tested this two ways – once with two packets of ramen, where you used the full layer in each lasagna layer, and once broken in half.
I was 90% sure this instant ramen hack wouldn’t cook the pasta, and I wanted it to work because I wanted to eat it for lunch!
If you DO break the Ramen noodles, it works. If you do not, the center doesn’t cook the entire way.
While Ramen recipes are often considered college-friendly food, this Ramen lasagna still requires an oven, so this might be one you need to make in a full kitchen.
Get creative!
Once you have this dish down, get creative with your favorite ingredients.
Fresh spices and a change in seasonings can go a long way. Try black pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder – put in your favorite flavors!
As a reminder, this recipe is not Italian and does not replace in any way real Italian cuisine like spaghetti and meatballs or creamy tortellini.
It is, however, interesting, cost-effective, and quite good so give this viral hack a shot!
