Ultra Quick Lasagna

KelBel's Note:

Preparing this lasagna takes just 10 minutes because the noodles are not precooked. Raw noodles are layered with ricotta and mozzarella cheeses and surrounded with a tomato-wine sauce that cooks the noodles until tender. Can make up to 24 hours in advanced.

I planned on making lasagna this week and so was really happy to come across this recipe. I love the fact you don't have to boil the lasagna noodles first. Will NEVER go back to the old way again!! I also put 1 lb. ground beef in the sauce for the carnivores of this family:-) Thanks for a great home-cooked meal in no time Kel. Made for MarketTag~

For a fast and quick meal - this lasagna fits the bill! I used more red wine and added some crushed red pepper to kick it up a bit. Next time I would saute a bit of onions, red peppers and mushrooms and add that to the mix. Great for a weeknight supper! Thanks KelBel!
