People always associate Italian food with easy pasta dishes but that’s not always the case. Some Italian food can be a bit more complex. Making sauce from scratch, or layering the perfect Lasagna. I have had the privilege of assisting in the creating of true lasagna, but I have never tried is myself.
I don’t know why I get intimidated by it, but I do. Something about boiling the noodles, keeping them from sticking and layering everything in the perfect ratio. I just get it all built up in my head and think, “Nope, I can’t do it, nope, nope, nope.” My boyfriend however LOVES ravioli and lasagna. So my go to is always ravioli, EASY PEASY, but never lasagna. Until I found this recipe.
The Lazy Girls Ravioli Lasagna is supposed to almost trick people into thinking that the lasagna is the noodles, but I knew that my boyfriend would want the ravioli loud and proud. So that’s what I did.
