Ravioli Lasagna
Description
In this Ravioli Lasagna recipe, lean ground beef is browned and combined with diced onions, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful meat layer. Frozen cheese ravioli serves as the pasta base, layered in a greased baking dish with the beef mixture, shredded mozzarella, and spaghetti sauce. The assembly creates alternating layers reminiscent of classic lasagna but uses ravioli for convenience.
The dish bakes at 400°F covered to heat through, melt the cheese, and meld flavors over 40 to 45 minutes. The frozen ravioli does not require thawing beforehand, simplifying preparation. The result is a hearty casserole presenting creamy cheese pockets within the ravioli, savory beef, and rich tomato sauce united by the melted mozzarella topping.
This Ravioli Lasagna is practical for family meals needing fewer steps than traditional lasagna while offering comforting layered flavors. Adaptable to other fillings and sauces, it can be adjusted for taste. Leftover nutrition values are estimated, and the meal serves multiple portions.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pounds ground beef lean
- 1/2 cup onion white or yellow, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 24-28 ounces spaghetti sauce
- 24-26 ounce cheese ravioli frozen, package
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease a 2.5 or 3 quart baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until browned. Drain.
- Return beef to pan, and stir in onion. Cook until onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add a thin layer of the spaghetti sauce to the bottom of the baking dish.
- Layer half of the ravioli, all of the beef mixture, and 1/2 cup cheese.
- Top with remaining half ravioli, sauce, and remaining cheese.
- Cover, and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until heated through.
Notes
- Use the ravioli frozen; no need to thaw before layering, which saves time.
- Brown and drain the ground beef to remove excess fat for a cleaner sauce.
- Season the beef with onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning for depth of flavor.
- Assemble the dish layering ravioli, meat mixture, cheese, and sauce evenly for balanced taste and texture.
- Cover the baking dish during cooking to retain moisture as it heats through.
