Make this incredibly easy Ravioli Lasagna Bake for a comforting dinner. This recipe uses frozen ravioli as a shortcut, layering it with meat sauce and cheese for a satisfying, cheesy casserole with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (24 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sausage until it is browned completely. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Stir the Italian seasoning and garlic powder into the cooked meat.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the Parmesan cheese.
  5. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  7. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the ravioli layer.
  8. Spoon half of the meat sauce mixture over the ricotta.
  9. Sprinkle one cup of the mozzarella cheese over the meat sauce.
  10. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining meat sauce, and the remaining one cup of mozzarella cheese.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
  12. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the ravioli lasagna rest for 5 minutes before you cut and serve it.

Notes

  • You can substitute jarred meat sauce for plain marinara if you prefer a richer flavor.
  • For a ‘Million Dollar’ twist, add a layer of cream cheese mixed with the ricotta.
  • This dish freezes well; assemble it completely, cover tightly, and freeze before baking. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
