Weeknight Lasagna Toss

I love easy, minimal ingredient, creamy, yummy pasta dishes! I got this one off of Kraft's website. I made a few changes to suit my family's taste. It uses oven-ready lasagna noodles that I got (Barilla makes them) and it comes together in like 20 minutes! You can easily add other favorite veggies to yours or use your own sauce! Yummo! It is sooooooo easy to make and it tasted like I was slaving over a stove all day!
Here it is:
