Last-Minute Lasagna

Muffin Goddess's Note:

A great-tasting, easy recipe that I found in Martha Stewart's Real Simple magazine. The leftovers are good to reheat for lunch the next day, too. For those more careful eaters, use light cheese and turkey pepperoni. Unless you are a grease-fiend, the end result will taste just as good. Omit the pepperoni for a vegetarian meal.

My husband and I LOVED it. I changed the recipe some. I added some grated carrots, red onions and artichoke bottoms. You need to add more pasta sauce if you are going to add extra vegetables.

I made this with frozen artichokes in place of the spinach and artichoke ravioli I found at Costco. I omitted the pepperoni to make it vegetarian. Everyone loved it. Very quick and easy. I forgot to thaw the ravioli so I just cooked it longer, about 45 minutes.

Easy and very good, the whole family enjoyed this. Great dinner idea for a busy night. Used turkey pepperoni but omitted the spinach. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
