Make a satisfying, cheesy lasagna flavor quickly by using frozen ravioli instead of traditional layered noodles. This is a simple, minimal effort casserole perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (24 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the marinara sauce, water, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir well.
  3. Pour half of the sauce mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Arrange the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Do not thaw the ravioli first.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese until combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the layer of ravioli.
  6. Pour the remaining half of the sauce mixture over the ricotta layer.
  7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is hot throughout.
  11. Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use meat sauce instead of plain marinara for a heartier dish.
  • If you do not have ricotta cheese, you can substitute it with cottage cheese.
  • For extra flavor, add a layer of cooked ground beef or sausage between the ravioli and the ricotta mixture.
