Easy Lasagna Recipe

*Sponsored post

The other day was my husband’s birthday. One of his favorite meals that I make for us is homemade lasagna. I just received three jars of pasta sauce from Victoria Fine Foods so I wanted to surprise him when he came home from work. He was very surprised since I do not make it as often as he would like!

Hubs isn’t crazy about Ricotta cheese so I substitute cottage cheese in it instead but you can easily switch it back if you like. The sauce that I used was Roasted Garlic and it gave the lasagna such a great flavor without needing to add any extra seasonings! Victoria Fine Foods is an authentic pasta sauce manufacturer based in Brooklyn, New York. They use a slow, kettle-cooked approach to making their sauces, and they use fresh, real food/non-GMO ingredients that provide an authentic homemade sauce in a convenient, ready-to-eat form. The only other way to get it all natural is to make it from your own garden! We also received Marinara and Fradiavolo.

Because my baking dish is slightly smaller than the suggested 9″ x 13″ pan, I can only use 1/2 a box of lasagna noodles. For a larger pan, you will use the whole box along with the same amount of other ingredients. This makes our lasagna very saucy and cheesy! I have even made 2 lasagnas with this same recipe and froze one. That is a HUGE time saver and a quick dinner on those busy days! It is simple to adjust the recipe as you see fit. Also, to make it even faster & simpler, I use Oven Ready Lasagna noodles so I don’t have to boil them. Too much of a hassle trying to layer them!
