As a busy mum, I like cooking meals for my family that are fast and simple. Traditional lasagne can be time consuming to prepare, but not this one! It's an easier version of the classic Italian favourite and is cooked in one pot - meaning less dishes to wash.
Make sure to use pre-cooked lasagne sheets to make this recipe even easier. I used Barilla Oven ready lasagne sheets. You can also cook and freeze the bolognese ahead of time - that way it will only take 20 minutes to prepare as a mid-week meal. Store leftovers in 12oz for the kids and in 16oz for the adults to enjoy the next day.
