Lasagna isn’t something I typically make all that often.  It’s time intensive and even on a weekend, it never seems to make it to the top of my to-do list.  But this Quick and Easy Ravioli Lasagna?  This is one of our favorites that makes lasagna on a weeknight not only possible, but something we all look forward to.  You too can take some help from the refrigerated section and have a delicious dinner on the table in a half hour.

The three year old of the house has gone off the deep end the last few weeks about having “leaves” in her food but after telling her several times that you really can’t taste the leaves and they make you healthier, she’s on board.  Silly girl!  Being able to sneak in almost a pound of spinach into this hearty main dish without anyone putting up a fight makes me think I should award myself a medal of some sort.

      Hey, Sue - You could definitely adjust the sodium content by using your favorite marinara, ravioli and cheese. The amount listed is an average of all types of recipe ingredients.

    This looks absolutely delicious! I have had a ravioli lasagna recipe bookmarked from Real Simple for about 8 years and have never made it. This just might be the inspiration I need.

    I always have to laugh at the things toddles will eat and then won't eat! My son has had periods where he rebels at the thought of eating pumpkin and red peppers - two of my favorite things, but he'll eat radish and tomato and pretty much anything else without a second thought. Leaves, how cute! On a side note, this lasagna looks mouthwatering!

    What a great, quick way to make lasagna. Brilliant for all of us on a busy weeknight. I did not know you were an Ohio girl either! We spent the holidays in Cleveland with family. My oldest son moved there in July, he lives in Cleveland Hights. We will have to meet up next time I am there!
