Ravioli Lasagna
Description
Ravioli Lasagna starts by browning ground beef with onions, then simmering it with marinara sauce and garlic to create a rich meat sauce. Meanwhile, ricotta cheese is blended with an egg, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder to add seasoning and creaminess. In a baking dish, layers are assembled alternating meat sauce, ravioli, and ricotta mixture, repeated to build a multi-layered casserole.
Baked covered and then uncovered, the mozzarella on top melts to a bubbly, golden finish, while ravioli soften through the baking process absorbing surrounding flavors. The dish delivers layers of tender pasta, hearty sauce, and creamy, flavorful cheese, making it a one-pan meal suitable for family dinners.
Ricotta can be substituted with cottage cheese if preferred. Different ravioli varieties can be used to customize the filling, and letting the dish rest after baking allows it to set for easier slicing.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 25 ounces cheese ravioli frozen
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- parsley for garnish, minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef and onion. Brown the beef, crumbling it as it cooks. Drain the grease from the pan.
- Add the marinara sauce and garlic and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often, over low heat.
- While sauce is simmering, mix ricotta, egg, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl.
- Spoon 1/3 of the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread across the bottom.
- Top with a single layer of ravioli, ½ of the ricotta mixture, and 1/3 of the sauce. Repeat the layers, ending in marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle the top with the shredded mozzarella. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 10 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with minced parsley.
- Let set for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
- Cottage cheese can replace ricotta for a slightly different texture and flavor.
- Use any frozen ravioli variety according to preference or availability.
