Ravioli Lasagna is the ultimate comfort meal! What could make meaty, robust lasagna even better? Swapping the noodles for cheesy ravioli, of course! Layers of tender cheese ravioli, flavorful meat sauce and both parmesan and mozzarella cheeses make for one seriously indulgent baked entree.
Why We Love It
Ravioli Lasagna isn’t the dinner to make when you’re just feeling like a salad will do. This baked meal is ideal for those nights when you really want something that’s so good you’ll crave seconds, but so filling you couldn’t possibly eat another bite!
It’s time to stockpile all of the best comfort food recipes! Ravioli Lasagna is definitely one of those recipes that warms both your body and soul. Just give it a few moments to cool off from the hot oven, then dig into what might just be your newest favorite comfort food!
I love that Ravioli Lasagna is SO easy to make. All the flavor of lasagna without all the work and it’s great for popping into the oven on those busy weeknights when you need something low stress. I usually prep this one on the weekend and stash it in the refrigerator for those weeknight dinners where take out seems so tempting. Oh, and you should know that as it bakes it’ll fill your kitchen with the most intoxicating smells that’ll drag everyone to the kitchen table.
If you love lasagna, but don’t have time for all that layering this recipe is totally for you.
How to Make Ravioli Lasagna
- Cook the meat sauce. Cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until brown in a large pot. Heat the olive oil over medium heat then add the onion and cook until softened. Add garlic, spices, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and browned beef and sausage. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Mix the cheeses. While the sauce cooks, mix the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese in a small bowl, and set aside.
- Assemble the lasagna. Cover the bottom of a casserole dish with a single layer of sauce, then place a layer of ravioli in the pan. Top with meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Place a second layer of ravioli, and top again the sauce and the remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan with plastic wrap then with foil.
- Bake, then broil. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes then uncover and remove the foil and the plastic wrap and bake for an additional 20 minutes. If you’d like to broil it, simply turn the broiler on high and cook uncovered for 3-5 more minutes to achieve the desired doneness.
- Enjoy! Serve immediately, enjoy with fresh grated parsley and fresh grated parmesan cheese.
How To Store Leftovers
Have any leftovers? Any leftover Ravioli Lasagna you have will stay fresh in the fridge for about 2-3 days. Just make sure you keep it stored in an airtight container.
Also, you’ll likely end up with some extra leftover meat sauce. I love to store mine in the fridge then toss it on spaghetti or penne pasta for a quick meal!
