Rao's meat lasagna with garlic bread
This is a shortcut dinner built on a shelf-stable lasagna that needs only heat to deliver a full meal. The pasta layers are already assembled with meat and cheese, so you just warm it through while a quick garlic bread finishes in the oven alongside. Serve it with a green salad and call dinner done.

To buy
- 1 small loaf Italian bread or baguette
From your shelf
- 1 box meat lasagna pasta with ricotta, mozzarella, beef, sausage and marinara sauce, R
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat the oven to 375°F [190°C]. Slice the bread in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with 2 tablespoons of oil mixed with 2 minced cloves of garlic, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Place the bread on a baking sheet.
- Remove the lasagna from its box and transfer it to a baking dish, or bake it directly in its container if it is oven-safe; check the package. Place the lasagna in the oven on the middle rack and set the garlic bread on the rack above or beside it, depending on your oven layout.
- Bake the lasagna for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the top is warm; the garlic bread will toast golden in the last 8 to 10 minutes. If the bread finishes earlier, remove it and tent it loosely with foil to keep warm.
Note Swap crusty rolls for the bread if you prefer. Leftovers keep in the fridge for three days; reheat gently in a 300°F oven to avoid drying the pasta. Serve with a simple green salad dressed in lemon and oil, or add a glass of red wine if you have it on hand.
