Last Minute Lasagna

I don't know where this recipe came from...my Mom says my Gammy cut it out of a magazine years ago, but I just can't see my Gammy (chef that she was) making this dish. It is, however, a life saver. Scott LOVES lasagna. He'd eat it every night if I'd let him- or if I had the time to make it. This recipe however, means we get lasagna much more often. I'm a snob when it comes to my TRUE lasagna- home made noodles, my mother's meat sauce (which takes a day to make) and an over abundance of cheese. Needless to say a "real" lasagna in my household is about a week in the works. This takes less than an hour.

Last Minute Lasagna

Yield: 4

Ingredients:

● 1 packages Lipton Creamy Parmazan Noodles
● 1 lb. lean ground beef
● 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
● 1/2 tsp basil
● 1/2 tsp oregano
● 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded


Directions:

Prepare noodles as directed, but reduce water to 3/4 cup. In skillet, brown beef. Drain fat. Stir in tomato sauce, basil and oregano. Bring to a boil. Pour half into 8x8 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Top with noodles, then remaining meat sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 mins before serving.


That easy. Thanks Gammy!
