Easy Ravioli Lasagna
Easy Ravioli Lasagna uses frozen cheese ravioli layered with marinara sauce and a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. The dish is assembled in layers within a baking dish, then covered with foil and baked until the cheese melts and the sauce bubbles. This preparation offers a convenient alternative to traditional lasagna by using pre-made ravioli to cut down assembly time.
Ingredients
- 2 (25 oz) marinara sauce jars
- 40 oz cheese ravioli or beef or spinach cheese, frozen
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1/3 cup basil leaves for garnish, optional, fresh chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread half of a jar of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add half of the ravioli in an even layer over the sauce.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the sauce. Top with another layer of sauce, remaining ravioli, remaining sauce, and 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, sprayed side down. Bake the lasagna for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Remove pan from oven let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with basil, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Frozen ravioli can be used directly without thawing or pre-cooking for convenience.
- Allow the baked lasagna to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- When freezing, wrap the dish tightly or portion into containers and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
