Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 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
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the frozen 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 softened, about 5 minutes. Add 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, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  7. Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce mixture on 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.
  10. Sprinkle one cup of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
  11. Spoon half of the remaining meat sauce over the mozzarella.
  12. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, and the rest of the meat sauce.
  13. Top the casserole with the remaining one cup of mozzarella cheese.
  14. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
  15. Let the ravioli lasagna rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you cut and serve it.

Notes

  • You can use frozen meat or cheese ravioli for this recipe.
  • For a richer sauce, use half ground beef and half Italian sausage.
  • If you want a slow cooker ravioli lasagna, layer the ingredients as directed and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
  • This dish reheats well; cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
