This tortellini lasagna recipe has only 3 ingredients and is a lazy vegetarian dinner that’s always a family favorite. (For more inspiration, here are the 10 best comfort food recipes.)

Lasagna is one of my personal all time favorite meals, which I do make occasionally, so know the effort that it takes to make an authentic lasagna, and so when I’m craving lasagna but not all the work that goes into making one, this easy recipe is the perfect solution.

This is the ultimate budget friendly easy meal, the 3 simple ingredients that I included are:

Fresh Tortellini – €2.75
Pasta Tomato Sauce – 85 cents
Grated Mozzarella Cheese – €1.59

So the total dish is just €5.19 or US$5.62!

I bought the ingredients and used them straight away, but you could also keep the ingredients on hand at all times to make the dish when there’s no food in the house to be able to enjoy the delicious flavors of lasagna very little effort.

You can adapt each ingredient depending on your own tastes, dietary requirements and what’s budget friendly near you.

You can pick any tortellini or ravioli you like, as well as mix up the pasta sauce to whatever your family enjoys, including being gluten free if need be.

You can also add in more ingredients to the easy dinner recipe such as parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, dried herbs, seasoning such as garlic powder, onion powder or Italian seasoning to taste and cook up some vegetables.

Use as little or as much of each ingredient as you’d like, and if you have any leftover sauce, then here’s a handy post with 15 recipes for leftover spaghetti sauce for you.

You could even turn the lazy lasagna into a meaty meal by adding cooked ground beef mince or Italian sausage to the pasta sauce layer.

The best part is that making the lasagna is really easy – you simply layer the pasta sauce, cheese-filled tortellini and cheese for the quickest, easiest, laziest lasagna like comfort food meal experience that the whole family will enjoy.
