"Lightning Lasagne"
I came up with this the other night when I was in a pinch of what to make. I had some ricotta in the fridge, no boil lasagne noodle, and a jar of sauce and not much time before supper. In spite of the few ingredients, the flavor of the sauce was enough to make for a quick and very delicious lasagne. Serve with a side salad and your done!
