Lasagna has always been a favorite around our house.
That’s an understatement. My family is low key obsessed over lasagna. Like the kind of obsessed that we eat lasagna for Easter and Thanksgiving. That’s not a joke. Mom found a recipe that is to die for, even though we all joke that it’s her extra ingredient of “love” that makes it so good.
Lasagna is a time-consuming task though, so I haven’t made it very often. When I came across this recipe for “Lazy Lasagna” I was so excited! One of my favorite meals and now it’s easy to make? Count me in!

Uncover; continue baking 15 to 20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and pasta is tender.
