Last Minute Lasagna

Even though I often write about Crockpot Freezer Meals, there’s times in my life where I don’t have enough time (or memory) to get something into the slow cooker! I am especially guilty of doing this on Sunday mornings when we’re getting around for church. You don’t want to know how many times I have no clue what we’re eating for lunch by the time church is over.

 

We have a tradition of coming home on Sundays after church and enjoying a family dinner together, so you’d think I’d actually plan ahead. It seems to be the one day of the week that we’re all there together and can actually enjoy each other’s company before the busyness of the week hits us. It can be hard to get this family time in, so we treasure it!

 

I recently decided to try a recipe that seemed too-good-to-be-true. It was perfect for our magical Sunday family meal times. It’s called Last Minute Lasagna. It was a perfect way to use my Ragu® pasta sauce that I recently bought at Dillons AND It’s a recipe that doesn’t take very long to throw together! A WIN-WIN for me!

 

Ragu Pasta Sauce

 

Last-Minute Lasagna Recipe

 

Ingredients:

66-ounce jar of Ragu® pasta sauce (will have about a cup leftover)
1.5 25-oz bags of frozen large cheese ravioli, unthawed
1 cup of fresh spinach leaves
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or other cheese you may have on hand)
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese

 

Directions:

  • Heat oven to 350° F.
  • Spray a 13×9” baking pan with cooking spray
  • Spoon 1.5 cups of the Ragu® sauce in the bottom of the pan.
  • Place one layer of ravioli along the bottom of the pan.

  • Top with spinach leaves, 1/3 of sauce and 1/2 of each of the cheeses.  (We only topped 1/2 of ours because of the kids who may freak out about green in their food.)

Last Minute Lasagna 3

  • Cover with another layer of ravioli, spinach and other 1/2 of cheeses.
  • Add more sauce to the top and top with cheese.

 

Last Minute Lasagna 4

 

  • Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes if ravioli was frozen or 20 minutes if it was thawed.
  • Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
