LAZY MARINARA LASAGNA



Lazy Marinara Lasagna image

I found this recipe on the back of the label on a package of ground beef! Of all the different ways I've used the same old pasta and sauce combinations, I'd never tried this one - it was a big hit! I'm sure this will adapt itself to using vegetables, different meats, no meat - whatever you like best. I'm including the ingredients for a "lazy" marinara sauce in case you don't have any jars of storebought in the pantry.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2-1 lb ground beef
1 -2 minced garlic clove
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (26 ounce) jar marinara sauce
25 ounces frozen cheese ravioli
1 -2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or a blend of mozzarella and parmesan)
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 -2 teaspoon italian seasoning (or a blend of oregano, basil and parsley)
1 -2 teaspoon sugar
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
salt, to taste
1 -2 dash wine (just a splash or two) (optional)

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 375.
  • brown ground beef with garlic and onion in large nonstick skillet. Drain off fat if necessary.
  • Mix with prepared marinara and set aside.
  • You can use a jar of storebought marinara or make your own with the ingredients listed above. The ingredients are flexible - I use whatever combination of canned tomatoes I happen to have at the time - crushed, diced, puree, with herbs or garlic already added - whatever. No need to cook before you add to the mix - it will bake along with everything else.
  • Bring 4 qts water to a boil. Cook ravioli just till it floats, about 3-5 minutes. Drain.
  • Place a bit of sauce/beef mixture in bottom of 9x13 pan. Add a layer of half the ravioli, topped by half the sauce, followed by half the shredded cheese.
  • Repeat layers.
  • Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, till sauce is bubbly and cheese is browned.
  • Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

On hectic nights, no one has time to stack several layers of lasagna. My version combines a few steps to cut down on prep, but keeps all the cheesy, saucy, noodle-y goodness that makes lasagna an all-time favorite. -Nancy Foust, Stoneboro, Pennsylvania
