I love Lasagna but rarely have the time to make it. (My hubby does make a mean lasagna complete with red wine sauce which I need to post another time.) This is a skillet bow tie lasagna that is so easy and yummy that your family will beg for more! I like that it uses bow tie pasta because if you have little ones they can easily eat then with little fingers or forks. Hope you enjoy!
I will not expense spices/oils since most of us have them on hand. W/c means with coupon.

I think everyone loves pasta :) We make lasagna in the crockpot and it's just wonderful. Just layer and cook on high for 4 hours.
Sounds like another great recipe! I definitely want to try this, but have a question. In the instructions, you mention tomatoes and tomato paste, but those are not in the list of ingredients (only spaghetti sauce). Are you substituting spaghetti sauce for the tomatoes/paste combination, or perhaps just forgot to add them to the list?
Thanks!
Lisa- you got it right girl! I just plugged in store bought sauce for the traditional paste etc. (I am all about saving time and hassle !!) I made the change in the directions... thank you so much for letting me know:) I needed some more coffee this morning!
