So good! I couldn’t find the size ravioli bag or the size it calls for for the marinara sauce. I also used Italian sausage because it was cheaper. Added shallot did a whole onion!
Ravioli Lasagna
Prep Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Meat Sauce
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer until the flavors meld, about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Ricotta Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine:
16 oz. ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped basil
1 tsp. garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Ravioli Lasagna
Spread 1/3 of the meat sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add a single layer of frozen cheese ravioli.
Spread half of the remaining meat sauce over the ravioli.
Add half of the ricotta mixture.
Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, meat sauce, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
Finish with a layer of cheese on top.
Step 4: Bake
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Sprinkle with additional fresh basil before serving.
Total Baking Time: 45 minutes
Tip: Let the lasagna rest for 5–10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the layers set and makes serving easier.
