Fast. Easy.

That’s my jam when it comes to meals for my family. And this 10-minute lasagna prep fits perfectly into our busy life.

I do love a good lasagna and there are some days (usually weekend days!) that I can boil the noodles and let the sauce simmer, simmer, simmer to deepen the flavor and thicken up. But other days, it’s this.

10-minute lasagna.

It takes 10 minutes to prep for the freezer. (A little longer if you want the sauce to simmer, simmer, simmer.) The no-boil noodles make this uber-quick to get ready to bake.

Also, please take note of the marinara and the tomato paste. The tomato paste is there to thicken up the marinara. You don’t want a runny lasagna, and most store-bought marinaras are fairly thin. So use the tomato paste to thicken and/or get one of the “chunky” marinaras, as those tend to be thicker. Either way, thicken up the sauce with the tomato paste, brand of marinara or letting it simmer a bit longer!

While the sauce is simmering, then you can mix up the ricotta combo and prepare to layer it all together.

Enjoy!!!
