1. Lazy Lasagna (No-Boil Ravioli Bake)

You’ve probably seen this one floating around TikTok—it’s gone viral for a reason! Instead of boiling ravioli, you let it cook right in the oven with sauce and cheese. My version is even lazier, and it’s become a weeknight lifesaver.

You’ll need:

Ravioli (fresh or frozen – (see Amazon options here)

Flavorful tomato sauce – I recommend [this one]  because it’s rich and herby

Mozzarella cheese – [Shredded packs like this make life easier]

How I make it:

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Spread a layer of tomato sauce in a baking dish, add a splash of water.

Place ravioli in a single layer, add more sauce, sprinkle cheese.

Repeat layers if needed.

Cover with foil, bake 20–25 mins, uncover last 5 mins for bubbling golden cheese.

📌 Recommended Extras:

[Ceramic baking dish] for oven-to-table serving.

[Silicone spatula set] to scoop without scratching.

2. Loaded Chicken Fries

Perfect for movie nights or “I just can’t cook today” evenings.

You’ll need:

Frozen fries – [These air fry perfectly]

Cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works best) – [Shred it fast with this tool]

Cheese sauce – [Try this creamy ready-to-use one]

How I make it:

Air fry fries until crispy [this air fryer] is my favorite.

Heat chicken and cheese sauce.

Pile fries on a plate, add chicken, pour sauce generously.

📌 Recommended Extras:

[Non-stick baking sheet liners] for easy cleanup.

[Serving baskets with paper liners] for a fun fast-food vibe.

3. Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta

For when you want something quick but a little bit fancy.

You’ll need:

Pasta – [This Italian brand is always al dente]

Shrimp (peeled & deveined – frozen works too) – [This tool makes prep fast]

Garlic butter – [Pre-made garlic butter saves time]

How I make it:

Cook pasta according to instructions.

In a pan, melt garlic butter, cook shrimp until pink.

Toss pasta in the pan until coated.

📌 Recommended Extras:

[Deep sauté pan with lid]

[Parmesan grater] for a final touch.
