Description
Frozen ravioli, pasta sauce, and mozzarella create an easy baked Lazy Lasagna that feeds six with only ten minutes of preparation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 25-ounce bag frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 24-ounce jar pasta sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
- Nonstick cooking spray or a little oil for the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or oil.
- Spread about 3/4 cup of pasta sauce evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
- Top the ravioli with half of the remaining sauce and half of the mozzarella.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, sauce, and mozzarella.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top, if using.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for about 15 minutes more, until the sauce bubbles and the cheese begins to brown.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
- Keep the ravioli frozen before assembling the casserole.
- Try beef, chicken, spinach, or mushroom-filled ravioli for variety.
- Add cooked sausage, ground beef, pepperoni, spinach, mushrooms, basil, or vegetables between the layers.
- Replace part of the red sauce with Alfredo sauce for a creamier variation.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze portions for up to two months.
