Lasagna is an Italian comfort food that I absolutely love. However, it’s not really practical to make on a weeknight. By the time you boil the pasta, make homemade sauce, and bake it it’d be almost time for bed!


To make weeknight meals go a little quicker I like to alter recipes so they cook faster. In addition, I rely heavily on my “Cantry” (pantry filled with canned goods). Canned tomato sauce has wonderful flavor, and doesn’t require slaving over a hot stove for hours.

Here are the ingredients I picked up at our local Giant Eagle
