I like to soak no boil pasta noodles in water before layering them since it gives them a special taste. However the noodles like to stick to each other in whatever container i put them in. How do you prevent them?

1Do you mean texture or flavor @BarAkiva? I'm not sure how soaking them would change the taste of the end result, could you elaborate for my own curiosity? – GdD Sep 23 '18 at 11:38

Why not just get regular and soak them in hot water? – paparazzo Sep 23 '18 at 13:08

This might be a good use for one of those 'microwave bacon racks'. I'd also be one to try putting a little bit of rice in between layers so they can't make complete contact, and it could be scraped off. – Joe Sep 24 '18 at 17:36

Layer them between wax paper, parchment paper or microwave cling film.

1An edit and an upvote. **;-)** Microwave cling film is perforated and will allow the water to reach the lasagne whereas normal cling film will prevent the water from reaching them. *Feel free to roll back:* no offence taken! **0:-)** – Fabby Sep 23 '18 at 09:48

@Fabby I am in the United States and have never seen or heard of perforated cling film for microwaves. It is not sold in either of the two supermarket chains in our county/area. – Cynetta Sep 23 '18 at 10:33

1Well.. The only advice I have for you is [not to use any cling film in the microwave](https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=cling+film+microwave+cancer&cat=web&pl=opensearch&language=english_uk) then. **[Here](https://www.lakeland.co.uk/70305/Lakeland-Perforated-Microwave-Cling-Film)** is what I'm talking about.

@Fabby The OP doesn't mention heating the lasagna noodles (microwave or otherwise), just soaking them. – Cindy Sep 23 '18 at 14:49
