Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (24 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ravioli according to package directions until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or sausage and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. Stir the marinara sauce into the meat mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
  7. Spread about 1 cup of the meat sauce mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  8. Arrange half of the cooked ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  9. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the ravioli layer. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  10. Spoon half of the remaining meat sauce over the mozzarella.
  11. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, and another cup of mozzarella cheese.
  12. Top with the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and all of the Parmesan cheese.
  13. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.
  14. Let the ravioli lasagna rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you cut and serve it.

Notes

  • You can use frozen meat ravioli or a vegetarian variety if you prefer a meatless meal.
  • For a richer sauce, use your favorite homemade marinara instead of jarred sauce.
  • This is a great make-ahead casserole; cover and refrigerate assembled, unbaked dish for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
