Quick & Easy Cream Cheese Lasagna

Quick & Easy Cream Cheese Lasagna

Guess what? I’ve never made “home-made” lasagna. In fact, I just happen to know that making lasagna is “hard” and “time consuming” by chance – not because I’ve ever experienced it. I don’t even know why it’s so hard. I made three batches of lasagna in the past three weeks (don’t judge – I love me some pasta!) and it wasn’t a hassle at all.

Why three batches? Well, I tried it… and I loved it so much, I made it again for myself and my neighbor. I don’t want to oversell you on this recipe, but I can’t help myself! It’s easy, it’s even inexpensive, it freezes well… if this lasagna was a man, he’d be the full package. Rich, low maintenance, self-confident. OK — I’m definitely overselling now.

The fatal flaw every time I’ve made this recipe is burning the cheese – keep your pan on a lower rack, or consider covering with foil for the first half of the cooking time.

Please share your own lasagna recipes! I’m open to trying a more advanced version!
