How to make quick easy lasagne?

Use shortcut ingredients like frozen ravioli or oven-ready noodles, pre-made marinara sauce, and shredded cheese to save time and effort.

What is the secret to a great lasagne?

Layering ingredients evenly and using quality sauce and cheese is key. Letting it rest after baking helps everything set nicely.

What is the correct way to layer lasagna?

Start with a layer of sauce, followed by ravioli or noodles, more sauce, then cheese. Repeat the layers and finish with a generous layer of cheese on top.

How to Make 3-Ingredient Lazy Lasagna

Step 1: Preheat
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Layer
In a greased baking dish, add:

A thin layer of marinara sauce
A single layer of frozen ravioli
A sprinkle of shredded mozzarella
Repeat until the dish is full, finishing with sauce + cheese.

Step 3: Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes, until cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 4: Let it rest
Give it 5–10 minutes before slicing — this helps it firm up and makes serving easier.

Optional Add-Ins (If You’re Feeling Fancy)

Ricotta or cottage cheese between layers
Cooked ground beef or sausage for a meaty version
Spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies

But honestly? It’s delicious just as it is. Pure lazy lasagna magic.
