I love the taste of lasagna but it is an effort to make. This is my 10 minute version that has all the same flavour and texture. I usually use my frozen pasta sauce, see recipe on this site, so I can knock this up in the time it takes to cook the pasta and whip up a bechamel sauce.
This also make a pretty good microwave lunch. In a plastic tub container put a layer of pasta in bechamel sauce, then a layer of meat sauce and so on. Refrigerate and microwave the next day.
