Quick & Easy Lazy Lasagna
Have you ever made lazy lasagna? Think easy. Nothing like those layers of lasagna we typically make.
As moms, most of us have a go-to recipe for busy nights. I bet you’re thinking of yours right now.
My younger daughter is involved in a youth opera production right now, and through November, her practice schedule is crazy. Lazy lasagna to the rescue.
I use my slow cooker when I can, but even that takes some preparation and forethought. My number one easy meal is pasta.
It’s so versatile, and my kids love it. Their favorite pasta recipe is lasagna, and with this version of Lazy Lasagna, I can have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.
I often hit the Taste of Italy website for simple and delicious meals.

Not completely draining the pasta could make this lasagna watery. When you drain pasta, let it drain for a couple of minutes. You should also drain the moisture from the ricotta cheese.
This pasta needs to be boiled first. You could buy no boil lasagna noodles and break them up in this, but I have not tried it so can’t make any promises! Let me know if you give it a try!
