Love lasagna but hate the process because it's so time consuming. Lasagna can be really intense to make.
Oh, do I have a great workaround for you, the answer is ravioli, yes, ravioli. This is so yummy, and so easy to make. It only takes only a few minutes of prep and its ready for the oven. And it's just delicious....
2-24 ounce jars of pasta sauce (two jars gives you a generous amount of sauce, you can reduce this to 1.5 jars if you think two jars is too much. I made it the first time using one jar, and it wasn't enough.
1 25 ounce bag of frozen cheese ravioli
1 lb of ground beef
2 cups of shredded Italian style cheese
1 teaspoon of basil
1 teaspoon of oregano
Steps
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 9x13 pan. Brown ground beef in skillet and add 3/4th of the sauce to meat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Pour remaining sauce in the bottom of casserole dish. Next layer frozen ravioli, then a layer of meat sauce and top with 1/2 the cheese. Layer ravioli again, meat sauce and cheese. Sprinkle basil and oregano on top layer of cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 more minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving
Options
You can make a white lasagna using two jars of Alfredo Sauce and a bag of wilted spinach
Saute onions, garlic and mushrooms with the ground beef for even more flavor
Substitute Italian sausage for ground beef, or mix half and half
Notes
The Italian style shredded cheese contains Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, Romano, Fontina, and Asiago cheese. You can use whatever cheese you like. I also used the Classico tomato and basil pasta sauce
