Because it's competing with the other ingredients. If I were making this (and it does look good), I would at least parboil the pasta first.

If I use DelMonte instead of Heinz will I have to adjust the cooking temperature? By how much?

I believe the simmer temperature of the water should remain unchanged, but as Del Monte has a slightly lower viscosity, you should be able to reduce the cooking time by around 17 seconds.

Yorkieabroad you should have included that vital piece of information in your original post.

I am, but a baked potato (I never eat them) must be horribly bland without salt and butter.

Think about lasagna. That cooks perfectly in the oven with just Bolognese sauce (or any other) and besciamella sauce. No water.

Brocoli, Kale, asparagus, all steamed together for 5 minutes. Then I prefer unsalted butter with lots of pepper as an enhancer. Tasty and off the charts good for you!

But aren't there two types of lasagna sheets? Those that require pre-boiling in water prior to assembling the lasagna and those that don't. The no pre-boil ones seem a lot thinner than the 'normal ones' - certainly thinner than all the other pasta shapes I use regularly - so they'll need less moisture in order to be able to soften and cook.

On a separate note - I once knew a guy who decided one day (on a whim) to make fried rice. So he just took some rice and fried it. He didn't realized that it had to be cooked first. What a mess....

Correct, but the pre-boil lasagna sheets are dying out here.
You can buy hard sheets in a box, but they've been made with eggs - or fresh lasagna sheets from the fridge section and those have been made with egg too. The boxed stuff lasts for years. The fresh stuff doesn't.
