Lazy Mom's Lasagna

Submitted by OceanLuvinGranny

"I found this recipe on the DisneyFamily food site. It is way easier than regular lasagna and tastes just as good. My kids don't care for the regular lasagna because they don't like ricotta, but they do love this one! Sometimes, I put some julienne carrots and zucchini in it too. It is very good that way as well as plain. Very much less work involved compared to the usual lasagna. Cooking time includes the 10 minutes for browning the ravioli and to saute' the veggies."
