Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders. This was pretty good ~ not the same as regular lasagna, but much easier. A nice quick dish when I want the taste but not all the work. Thanks for posting this.

Nice dish that was quick and easy. I used some bow tie pasta rather than broken lasagna noodles but that was the only change. Thanks for a low cal fast fix meal that is a good go to dish for a busy day.
