Quick and Easy Ravioli Lasagna
If you look in my freezer apart from a pile of choc ices and ice pops you will also find boxes and bags of frozen pasta meat and vegetarian sauce. I tend to make up a huge vat around once a month and freeze it in portions for our family. Then use it in all sorts of recipes. This was a firm favourite with my kids when I made it the other week and is so simple to do. We got the ravioli off the reduced counter in the supermarket and I made up this in a few minutes. So here we go our easy family meal idea of Ravioli Lasagna a really easy kid-friendly pasta dish that the whole family will love as well.
Easy Mid-Week Lasagna
Quick and easy in the middle of the week is vital in our house. The kids have activities, I have meetings and we’re in a rush to get some great food into them. This recipe is one of my go-to recipes for simple and easy lasagna.
Using premade ravioli and a jar of sauce (or my homemade tomato and meat sauce from the freezer) it’s quick and easy to put together for 4 separate portions. Ideal on those days when people are coming and going at different times and I want everyone to have a nutritious meal.
