I have to say, I have a love-hate relationship with lasagna. I love it…but I kinda hate the production of making the traditional 13×9 inch pan of the stuff. The boiling, the grating, the layering, the baking, the cooling, the slicing…it’s just exhausting. Especially for something that will be devoured in no time.
Which is why I love this recipe for soup bowl lasagna so very much. It’s all the joy of lasagna in a fraction of the time. You cook up the lasagna noodles the way you always do, but instead of assembling all the ingredients in a baking dish, you skip right to the plate. Some warm marinara sauce, some spinach, a delicious mixture of warmed ricotta and mozzarella, the cooked noodles, some parmesan cheese…instant, super-easy lasagna! No muss, no fuss, no baking. This is a lasagna you can actually make on a school night. And even better, you can make exactly the amount you need, portion by portion, because you are assembling it right into individual soup bowls. Which you probably figured out. From the name of the recipe.
So for all of you who are looking for lasagna shortcuts, break out your soup bowls and give this one a whirl.

Another great trick is to use already made raviolis for your cheese and pasta and add sauce and ricotta. Delicious!
Whoa this is SO much easier than making traditional lasagna. Even easier than no-bake noodles I think!
And by no-bake I mean no-cook.
This is a fabulous idea!
I need to start making more of the stuff you post. It looks so good, and I think maybe I don't want to ruin that with my cooking. Haha!
Sounds like an interesting twist. Although, the gooey melted cheese is my most favorite part of the lasagne…….
Looks fun…But you can't give up regular, trouble to make, lasagna for long. It always sneaked back and wants to be made!! ^_^ We'll leave it for weekends now though.
makes total sense to me…great idea!
makes total sense to me…great idea!
perfection!!!
Perfect. It turned out to be a show stealer on the weekend.
Brilliant ! When you are cooking for 2, a lighter dish ( less cheese) and less time to make it is a treat.
I am going to make this one night this week ! I also like that I can make this in the summer without having the oven on ..
Brilliant!
This is brilliant. I always wondered why you had to cook it again after you cook everything first anyways. Thanks for the answer: You don't!
This looks awesome! I agree, the making of lasagna can be quite a production. I could go for a big bowl of this right now!
This looks great…can't wait to try it! I have another super easy lasagna recipe I like to use, for lasagna in the crockpot. Here is the link:

I tweak it a little, but it's a super easy and fast way to make lasagna
This looks delicious! Can't wait to try and taste it.
Who would've thought?!? To think, all these years, we've been slappin' those lasagna noodles on top of each other like a 1950's assembly line! I'm making this bad boy tomorrow night!
What a great way to do lasagna! Looks delicious and I can't wait to try this recipe!
I worked with a gourmet chef and she used to serve lasagna just like this at her restaurant. I always wondered how she did it and now I know! I just want to tell you I love your blog.
OMG YES! My hubby LOVES lasagna, it's his MOST favorite but I HATE HATE HATE making it during the week because it takes HOURS and HOURS it seems like.
I made this tonight.
It was so easy and so very very good.
My husband ( at first) felt that it should have been baked… but then he took his first bite… we both barely managed not to lick the bowls clean.. Thank goodness there was enough for seconds !
This is an awesome idea! I do not like the prep for lasagna either and you've taken all the fuss and mess away!!! Thank you!
Cheers! Leslie
This is pretty stinkin genius! We made it for dinner yesterday and it was amazing and super easy, which I think makes it even more amazing
Thanks!
I love this! I sometimes make lasagna using a really good square (important) ravioli. I use them while still frozen even. Saves a lot of time. Bake for 45 mins. Delish!
Preppy Pink Crocodile… I did that also and found it worked out perfectly .. we get Sorrentino's fresh and soft and I just stick those straight into the oven, sauced and cheesed.
