Easy Picante Lasagna Recipe
Lasagna is one of my favorite dishes so it was no surprise that I loved this picante lasagna recipe the moment I tasted it.
It’s my sister in-law’s recipe that I’ve adapted slightly because that’s how I get down. Every time she’d make it I’d always say “I HAVE to get this recipe one day”. Well that day has come. This is my third time making this picante lasagna and it is definitely in my last minute dinner recipe stash.
The greek yogurt really lends a unique and delicious flavor to this lasagna and I just love how you can throw the noodles in there uncooked. It all comes together so quickly and the flavor is “company” approved.
I’ll be making up a few batches of this lasagna to throw in the freezer on those REALLY busy/lazy night. A lot better that Stouffers!
Serve it up with a salad, breadsticks and sweet tea and then call me over for dinner !!

I made this tonight it was good but I didn’t like the italin seasoning.. next time i’m not going to use it.
I have used several of your recipes and always get good responses from the receivers, even request to sell items, which I turned down. Keep up the good work, thank you!
This recipe looks delicious. I would like to make it. However I have two questions. Where can I find the italian seasoning? Also may I use sour cream instead of greek yogurt?
OHHHHH MYGOSH!!! I MADE THIS FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TODAY(FOR MY SONS 2ND BDAY FAMILY DINNER) AND IT WAS A HIT..I RECEIVED ALOT OF COMPLIMENTS FROM MY NIECE AND NEPHEW(PICKY EATERS) AND OF COURSE MY MAMA AND AS WELL AS THE HUBS. SO FAR ALL THE MEALS THAT I HAVE MADE FROM YOUR WEBSITE HAS BEEN A SUCCESS. AND TO TOP IT OFF MY SONS BDAY CAKE WAS YOUR FAMOUS BANANA PUDDING CUP CAKE/ 8IN CAKE…KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
My noodles came out tough. Any clue what I could have done wrong?
