The weekend is here and I am so glad! I am sharing a recipe that is on the rotation list here at our house. It’s quick, easy and I hardly ever have any left once my crowd digs in! Prep time is only about 10 minutes, then Bake! I have been serving this since my kids were younger and their schedules were jammed pack.
We love lasagna, but who has the time after work (or desire) to boil the noodles, brown the hamburger, etc. I work from home and I still don’t feel like doing it LOL! Many moms today want to give their family a good meal, but let’s be honest…schedules are so hectic, getting a family home-cooked meal in is very hard. When I’m looking new recipe ideas on Pinterest, I am always looking qu8ick and easy. If the recipe has more than 6 ingredients, it’s a safe bet that I won’t be fixing it during the week. A
Let’s begin!

Layering this only takes a few minutes and then you pop it in the oven and wait for the deliciousness to be born!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and grease a 9×13 baking dish. Next, spread about 3/4 of a cup of your marinara sauce on the bottom of the pan.
Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
Top with half of the remaining sauce.
Top with half the cheese.
Repeat your layers, starting with the remaining frozen ravioli.
Continue with the remainder of your sauce and the rest of the mozzarella cheese. If you like Parmesan
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown and bubble.
Let it cool for about 10 minutes, then serve!
Add some breadsticks and a salad, your meal is complete and will be a crowd pleaser!
We enjoy this meal quite often and I hope you will enjoy it too! You can add meat to your sauce if desired, shake things up and make it your own! I made this last night for my crowd, I added salad and corn on the cob and Texas Toast. Hope you enjoy!!
