If you can boil water and cook noodles… you can make this no-bake lasagna recipe-no matter how hectic dinner time might be. Check out how easy it is to make in the video below.

But seriously, why would one want an easy of a lasagna recipe like this one? I mean, what’s the point, right? Well, say it’s 5:45 p.m. and everyone is ready for dinner, and just as you take the frozen pan of lasagna from the freezer you realize that it’s going to take more than 1 hour to bake in the oven! And everyone wants lasagna…

Well, that’s why you need THIS recipe.

This easy lasagna recipe tastes JUST LIKE traditional lasagna baked in the oven, without much work!

What’s great is that this recipe is the very best of lasagna, the classic flavors, but deconstructed.

Deconstructing your lasagna helps you build it super fast as well as customizing it to everyone’s tastes. Instead of layering and baking the noodles in the oven, you layer them directly on the plate, topping them with sauce, cheese, other delicious things like spinach or meat, and boom! You’re done.

Although I made this recipe without any meat and kept it vegetarian, you can start by cooking some beef on a pan and add it to the sauce. Of course, you can add a layer of cooked chicken, additional veggies… the possibilities are endless!

Don’t have lasagna noodles around? I’ve got you covered with this Quick & Easy Skillet Lasagna that comes together with your favorite pasta on a pan.
