EASY RAVIOLI LASAGNA
Description
Easy Ravioli Lasagna begins with layering pasta sauce and frozen ravioli in a baking dish, then spreading a cheesey mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. The process repeats with another ravioli layer, more sauce, and topped with remaining mozzarella. Baking covered then uncovered develops a cooked-together lasagna with moist, tender cheese layers enveloping the ravioli. The mozzarella melts for a golden finish.
The use of frozen ravioli simplifies the process by skipping traditional noodle preparation, and the ricotta and egg mixture adds creaminess and binding to keep the layers intact. The parsley introduces mild herbal freshness, balancing rich cheese and tomato sauce flavors.
This casserole is suitable for a comforting main dish and pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables. Letting it rest after baking helps the layers set for cleaner servings.
