Lazy Mom's Lasagna

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.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4-5
• Yields: 1 casserole

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) jar  marinara sauce (I always just use a jar of chunky spaghetti sauce, the chunky green papper one or the chunky garden )
• 1⁄2 lb  sliced mozzarella cheese
• 1⁄2 cup  grated parmesan cheese (I use the kind you sprinkle from a container)

4. Arrange the still frozen ravioli into one layer in a large skillet and cook over med. heat without stirring until heated through and beginning to brown on the bottom (gently lift with fork to check).
