"Classic lasagna in my family is made by layering thin lasagna noodles, preferable egg pasta, with layers of bechemel or white sauce, and a light meat sauce. Here, curly short-cut pasta is topped with the white sauce and topped with a rich meat sauce for mixing in. - Rachael Ray"

I was home from work with a sick daughter, and as she napped, this Rachel Ray 30 Minute Lasagna Bowls episode came on Food Network and I was so excited to try it! I checked out Food Networks website, but couldn't find this recipe posted so I'm glad I found it here (this is the exact recipe from the show!). Of course Rachel Ray makes it look so easy and flawless to put this together and I know the amount of ingrediants looks intimidating, but really, it wasn't hard at all and the flavor was fantastic. So glad we tried this! Everyone cleaned their plates and the kids had seconds. We'll make this again.

This is a Rachael Ray recipe. We've made it many times and my family loves it. If you add some canned diced tomatoes to the meat sauce, you can stretch the sauce even further.
