This recipe combines the comfort of lasagna with the ease of frozen ravioli, creating a hearty, cheesy baked pasta casserole perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (24 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined. This is your cheese layer.
  3. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Do not thaw the ravioli first.
  5. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the layer of ravioli.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
  7. Spoon half of the remaining marinara sauce over the mozzarella.
  8. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining mozzarella, and remaining marinara sauce.
  9. Top the entire casserole with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  10. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for 25 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  13. Let the ravioli lasagna rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh basil, if using.

Notes

  • You can use meat sauce instead of plain marinara for a heartier meal.
  • If you prefer a less sweet flavor, use a robust, low-sugar marinara sauce.
  • This is a great shortcut lasagna recipe; no need to boil pasta.
