I love this ravioli lasagna! It’s made with frozen ravioli instead of traditional lasagna noodles. This gooey, cheesy ravioli lasagna bake is a delicious twist to the usual lasagna!
INGREDIENTS
1 small onion, diced
1 lb. ground beef
24 oz. marinara
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ c. Parmesan cheese
2 c. ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1 tsp garlic powder
25 oz. frozen cheese ravioli
½ tsp onion powder
2 c. shredded mozzarella
minced parsley for garnish
¼ c. chopped parsley
HOW TO MAKE RAVIOLI LASAGNA
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Using a non-stick spray, grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Add the ground beef and onion in a hot large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking into chunks as it cooks. Then, drain the excess grease from the pan.
Step 3: To the meat and onion, add the marinara sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes over low heat, stirring often.
Step 4: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 5: Into the prepared baking dish, spoon 1/3 of the meat mixture, spreading it across the bottom. Create a single layer of ravioli on top, followed by half of the ricotta mixture and 1/3 of the sauce. Do the same layers, ending in marinara sauce.
Step 6: On top, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella. Tightly tent with foil and place in the preheated oven. Bake for about 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.
Step 7: Take the lasagna out of the oven and sprinkle it with minced parsley. Before slicing, allow the lasagna to sit for about 10 minutes.
NOTES:
If desired, you can use cottage cheese in place of ricotta.
In this recipe, you are welcome to use any variety of frozen ravioli that you prefer.
