Easy Ravioli Lasagna Recipe | Baked with Frozen Ravioli
This is a lazy lasagna recipe or ravioli lasagna casserole, or just ravioli casserole if you prefer.

It will quickly become a family favorite recipe because it tastes oh so good!
Tips and variations for making this easy ravioli lasagna recipe:
● The sky is the limit on the changes and adaptions you can make with this recipe.
● The frozen ravioli can be any type (mushroom ravioli, ground beef ravioli, Italian sausage ravioli, etc.)… although the ricotta and spinach ravioli paired in these photos is a beautiful compliment to the fresh spinach.
● Two bags (25 ounces each) of frozen ricotta and spinach ravioli were used in the recipe shown.
● Instead of Bolognese sauce, you could substitute vodka sauce, marinara sauce, homemade spaghetti sauce, meat sauce, or other pasta sauce. Use what your pocketbook and family will enjoy the most!
● Mozzarella cheese is a fairly decent melting, great with Italian sauce and cheese. The cheddar cheese gives this a bit of tang. You could also use an Italian cheese blend (pre-shredded in the dairy case).
● If you use much more sauce than listed, you may want to move up to a 13″×9″ pan. Adjust more cheese and ravioli, too, and watch the cooking time.
● You can sprinkle on some garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs (fresh parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary) or dried herbs.
● Serve with a fresh green salad, Caesar salad, and some homemade garlic bread. Yum!
● This recipe is made with ingredients commonly found at your local grocery store.
As I said, many variations can be had! Just think of this as a base recipe, and make changes from it that suit your needs.

Looks & sounds tasty! Looove the addition of ravioli. Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday!
Estelle Forrest says
I love recipes like this and so does my family. Thanks for sharing on SSPS, I hope to see you again next week.
Terri Walker says
Looks yum! Quick question: how would you adjust this recipe for those of us who can only buy fresh ravioli? Frozen is not available where I live in Europe.
Ann says
The cook time, Terri. It will be an adjustment but I do think it is doable with fresh (I have not done it though!).
