I love this lasagna recipe so much, I make a double batch so I can freeze one for emergencies! Whether I get home exhausted from traveling or surprise dinner guests stop by, I know I’ve always got something healthy and delicious stashed away.
This recipe gets its name because it eliminates two of the most time-consuming steps in making homemade lasagna: boiling the noodles and making the sauce.
By adding extra seasoning to prepared marinara, you get a flavorful filling with minimal prep. And unlike traditional lasagna, this version includes spinach and mushrooms, so you’ve got more complete nutrition.
I serve mine with a side salad of fresh Romaine, mixed greens, and basil drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.
I love Butcher Box grass-fed ground beef and Paleo-friendly Cappello’s Lasagna Sheets in this. However, if you prefer a vegan option, see the recipe for a vegetable filling, and opt for egg-free, gluten-free lasagna noodles cooked according to the package directions.
One final tip: this lasagna is even better if you let it sit overnight before reheating and serving. It makes amazing leftovers too – even for breakfast! (Who says breakfast has to be sweet?)
