Here’s a fun and easy twist on traditional lasagna: Ravioli Lasagna—layers of ravioli, sauce, and cheese baked into a cheesy, comforting casserole. 🍝🧀
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 package (about 25–30) Cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
- 3 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: 1 cup Cooked ground beef or sausage or sautéed Vegetables
- Fresh Basil for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Layer the ravioli
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Place a layer of ravioli over the sauce.
- Sprinkle some mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
- Add meat or vegetables if using.
3. Repeat layers
- Repeat layers until all ravioli and sauce are used, finishing with a cheese layer on top.
4. Bake
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25–30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
5. Serve
- Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.
✅ Tips
- For extra creaminess, spread ½ cup ricotta cheese between layers.
- Use meat, vegetables, or a mix to make it your own.
- Frozen ravioli doesn’t need to be boiled first—just adjust baking time if very thick.
