Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of refrigerated ravioli (about 25-30 pieces, cheese or meat)
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
- Layer the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange a layer of ravioli on top of the sauce. Add a layer of ricotta cheese, followed by mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of sauce and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use frozen ravioli, just make sure to thaw them before assembling.
- If you prefer a meat lasagna, add cooked ground beef, turkey, or sausage between the layers.
- For a lighter version, swap the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese or use low-fat mozzarella.
- To add more veggies, try layering in spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
- This recipe can be assembled in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
