Here’s a fun and hearty Ravioli Lasagna recipe — it’s like lasagna but uses ravioli instead of noodles for a quicker, cheesy, and delicious twist:
🧾 Ingredients (4–6 servings)
- 1 lb (450 g) frozen cheese or meat ravioli
- 2 cups marinara or pasta sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: fresh basil or spinach for layers
- Salt and pepper, to taste
🥘 Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the ravioli:
- If using frozen ravioli, cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
- Assemble the lasagna:
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Layer ravioli evenly over the sauce.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the ravioli.
- Repeat layers (sauce → ravioli → cheese) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cheese layer on top.
- Bake:
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake 10–15 minutes more until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Let it cool 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, mix ricotta cheese with spinach, garlic, and herbs and layer it between ravioli.
- Add cooked sausage, ground beef, or vegetables for a heartier dish.
- Using frozen ravioli saves a lot of time compared to traditional lasagna noodles.
