One dish Lasagna
So, lasagna can be waaaay too labor intensive for something that is basically a simple casserole. This version comes from all Trader Joe's ingredients--and you can assemble it in less than 10 minutes, directly INTO the pan you bake it in. No boiling the noodles, no sauteeing the veggies or making marinara sauce....comfort food that is easy to make!
1 Bottle TJ's Vodka Marinara Sauce (or other tomato-based pasta sauce)
1 package TJ's fresh, no boil, lasagna sheets (found in refrigerated pasta section)
1 large (4 cup?) bag TJ's quattro formaggio shredded cheese (or mozzarella)
1 16 oz. container fresh ricotta
2 Tbs. prepared pesto
2-3 fully cooked chicken sausages (I like the basil ones), sliced thinly, on the diagonal
Spray the bottom of a 9 x 12 pan with cooking spray. Dump in about a 1/2 cup sauce and spread all over the bottom of pan. Layer with lasagna noodles. Open the ricotta container and add the pesto to it, stirring. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese and stir. Dump the ricotta mixture on the noodles, spreading evenly. Add a thin layer of sauce on top. Add another layer of noodles, sauce, a good helping of shredded cheese and then sausage slices. Add the last layer of noodles, sauce and then cheese.
At this point the lasagna can be covered and refrigerated until you are ready to cook it.
Preheat oven to 350. Bake lasagna uncovered for 45 minutes or until browned and bubbly. (if it seems like it is getting too browned too fast, cover loosely with foil. Let sit for ten minutes, and then serve.
