Craving the yummy goodness of lasagna and the cheese that melts in your mouth, but don’t have the time? This Lazy Lasagna will be on your plate within the hour!

Pleasing everyone at dinner time is a chore within itself, especially when you have picky eaters. We all tend to like different things, however this recipe is always a hit and super easy for me to throw together.

This meal can easily be customized to fit your families likes. Choose from many different varieties of filled raviolis to fit your tastes. My family enjoys the comfort of spinach and extra cheese raviolis. If I have time to make my own spaghetti sauce I always do because it’s a huge hit in our household. However, many times a good old ragu jar is my lifesaver. Sometimes, I toss some sliced mushrooms off to one side for the hubby and myself, the kiddos they’d rather mushrooms not touch their food lol. I’ve been trying to sneak them into their dishes since they were little but it still seems to be that one veggie that my kids would rather go hungry than eat! Feel free to switch up the meats and cheese as well. This dish is one of those after you make it once you will continue changing it up everytime to fit your likes.
