I absolutely loved this! It has all the flavors of lasagna on top of a crescent roll crust. This dish is assembled as it bakes. You bake the crust for a few minutes, add the meat, bake, add the cheese layer and bake some more. I browned the meat ahead of time so this didn’t have any real prep work. I just prepared the next layer while the current layer baked. We both really liked this. It was even good reheated the next day. Serve this with a side salad for a quick Italian feast!

HI!
I made this for dinner last night and it was really good! I made 2 small changes because I had the stuff on hand: I used garlic crescents & added a little parmesan cheese (like 1/4 – 1/2 C, I had some fresh that was nearly down to the rind, I just shredded it right on top of the ricotta, before the sauce and cheese.).
VERY yummy, easy to make and boyfriend approved 🙂
This is a Plain Chicken weekend, I have the Mississippi Pot Roast in the slow cooker right now and the house smells *divine*
Thanks & have a great day!

Sounds great!!
This looks A mazing,thanks,keep them coming.
Sthrngal – I consider spaghetti sauce and marinara to be the same thing. I am not sure how a pie crust would work. You could give it a try
question, do we use spaghetti or marinara sauce? in the directions spaghetti sauce is listed.
and what about the regular pie crust? will it work or is it not flake enough like crescent roll dough.
thanks
Do you think this would work with a regular pie crust?
