Lasagna

QVCkitty1 — Sat, 03 Aug 2024 00:25:57 GMT

Lasagna is a popular dish and homemade is labor intensive. Rana makes a delicious version found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. It comes in just cheese or meat and can be baked or microwaved. It comes in individual or family size and it almost tastes homemade. If you are only familiar with Stoffers it is so much better, JMO. If you need a quick, but hearty meal serve this with a salad and you won't be disappointed. I like Rana's whole line of pastas.

I've seen Rana where I shop. Haven't tried it yet but now I think I will. I think the sodium is high, but once in a while that won't hurt me. Stouffer's, Maria Calendar, Lean Cuisine, and the like took a nose dive years ago and IMO none are good anymore. Rana is in the gourmet deli area where I shop in a small display, not in the isles long cold cases. Mama Mancini meatballs are there too.

@Love my grandkids @I would love to try Costco, but sadly there is none in my area.

We find Michael Angelo frozen lasagna to be OK in a pinch.

If you have a Trader Joe near I would suggest their meat lasagna--it is in the freezer section.

My husband grew up with an Italian grandmother and mother who made them from scratch. I have made it but it is as stated labor intensive.My husband has stated that this tastes like the ones he grew up with.

@QVCkitty1 Thanks for the Rana suggestion. I'd never heard of until you posted and I've already found it at all my local stores. Can't wait to try it...

I'm not a big lasagna fan, but I agree that Rana makes a good one.

Stouffer's, who has many good products, makes a lousy lasagna.

I like Michael Angelo frozen lasagna too. Rao's also makes a good one.

@LizzieInSRQ , Just a thought, buy the larger size, it reheats well.

Rana makes a great alfredo sauce too.

I've wanted to try the lasagna but was waiting to hear some reviews. I'll have to try it.

I do love lasagna--and I do love Rana brand too, but so much sodium in all that stuff--just can't eat it anymore. And DD can't do any dairy. I have made lasagna using an almond cream that is pretty good-- but really, no good, tasty, non dairy cheese in the world yet so whats the point. We like Ranas filled pastas--and have that once in a while, altho still dairy in it--DD eats a small amount.

@Jrzgirl , I just saw a Costco ad on Tik Tok and they had Rana short rib lasagna. Now I'm really jealous of people near a Costco . LOL.

Based on your recommendation, I bought and tried the Trader Joe's meat lasagna. It is delicious. I will definately buy it again. Just as good, if not better, than the Stanganelli's Italian Foods lasagna that QVC sells and no where near the QVC price even when on sale. Better than Rana lasagna too! Will buy the TJ's version from now on. Thanks!

I've been making lasagna for years. I'd make a large lasagna and it would take a long time to make. Now I make a smaller version, about 4 nice size portions using the no boil lasagna noodles. Meat, cheeses, sauce as usual and I can have it put together in 15 minutes (minus baking). So much simpler and just as good.

Thanks for the Rana recommendation for lasagna. I've had some of the Rana products and liked them a lot. The last lasagna I made was not very good and Stouffer's is almost inedible, so I'll be trying Rana's.
