This recipe uses store-bought ravioli to create a simple, cheesy pasta bake that tastes like lasagna but requires minimal effort. It is a perfect family favorite for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 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
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix until the ingredients are fully blended.
  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. Spoon half of the remaining marinara sauce over the ricotta layer.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  8. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining marinara sauce, and the final 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  9. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes covered.
  11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  12. Let the ravioli lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.

Notes

  • You can use meat sauce instead of plain marinara for a heartier flavor.
  • If you prefer a slow cooker ravioli lasagna, layer the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
  • This dish freezes well; assemble the casserole completely, cover tightly, and freeze before baking. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking according to directions, adding 10 minutes to the covered bake time.
