Ravioli Lasagna Bake

onion,

Kosher salt

black pepper

garlic,

(32-oz.) jar marinara

whole milk ricotta

c. Parmesan, divided

c. basil,

garlic powder

(12-oz.) packages frozen cheese ravioli

Preheat oven to 350º and grease a 9”-x-13” baking dish with cooking spray. Warm a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat and add ground beef and onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 10 minutes, then drain fat and return to skillet.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add ricotta, egg, 1/4 cup&nbsp;Parmesan, basil, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.&nbsp;

Spread 1/3 of the meat sauce into prepared pan. Top with a single layer of ravioli, half of the remaining meat sauce, half of the ricotta mixture, and half of the mozzarella and remaining Parmesan. Repeat layers, ending on cheeses.&nbsp;

Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden and bubbly, 15 minutes more. Sprinkle with remaining basil and serve.

This is delicious, I am a school chef and I make this dish, for our school lunch and our kids love it.  The question asked is:  Do you cook the ravioli? From frozen, I cooked the ravioli according to the directions on the package.  Hope this can help.

One of my favorite recipes of all time. I can't go back to regular lasagna. So much flavor and depth. The fresh basil makes a huge difference in taste. I tried making it without fresh basil during the winter and it was not the same. I also use Rana brand ravioli which adds more flavor than frozen ravioli, in my opinion. Amazing recipe!

This recipe is a keeper! Everyone raved about the flavor and they took not only a second helping, but a third helping at dinner. I used super fresh ingredients, two different flavored raviolis, added more meat, a hot Italian sausage,  added portabella mushrooms,  and doubled the sauce. Actually next time I will use 1 and a half jars of sauce. The raviolis were not frozen and they turned out fantastic.

After all the recipes on this website so far, this is my families absolute favorite. My mother especially loved it because she really missed Swedish lasagna when she moved to America but after making this recipe, this is her new favorite.

Wow! This was unbelievable. We used a meat substitute to make it vegetarian. I added a little extra sauce per some of the reviews and I used a family size 20 oz of refrigerated ravioli and it was perfectly fine. It took longer than 15 minutes to assemble, but my family of four almost ate half of this! I will absolutely make this again and there’s little to nothing to change from the original recipe. Kudos!

Great dish! A simple alternative to lasagna that tastes delicious! Great idea for a pot luck.

Wow, I finally made this today and it smells wonderful!!!  Thanks for the great recipe.

I let the ravioli thaw the night before in the fridge. It was amazing. I don’t know if it matters, but I wanted to make sure that it would be warm and ready to go when eating. This was the best lasagna dish I’ve ever made myself. I wouldn’t change anything. I bought everything except the basil at ALDI and it fed 7 people for under $20 with leftovers to spare. Even with a side salad and garlic bread. You can’t beat that.

I made this for the first time and my husband really liked it.  I added a little cream to the ricotta/egg mixture because it was a little thick but that was the only change I made.  I wish i had used a little more meat than it called for....i had to skimp a little on my meat layers. I think it would be better with about 2 lbs of ground meat and 2 jars of marina sauce if you like a more meaty dish.  But it is an excellent dish and would be a great dish to take to a church dinner.

I've made it 2 times now, best meal ever it's so good!!! Definitely would recommend

Baked Ravioli

olive oil

onion, finely chopped

tomato sauce

tomato paste

teaspoon salt

refrigerated ravioli (700 grams), uncooked

mozzarella cheese, shredded

Parmesan cheese, grated

fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Heat oil in a large pot or 4 quart Dutch oven for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the oil is sizzling hot. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.

Add onion and garlic. Stir well to combine and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender.

Pour in tomato sauce, tomato paste, parsley, and salt. Stir well to combine. 

Bring the meat sauce to a simmer. Then, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes uncovered. Set aside.

Make the meat sauce:

In a 9x13-inch casserole pan, layer the baked ravioli in the following layers:

Sauce: Evenly spread 1 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of the pan.

Ravioli: Place a third (1/3) of the ravioli evenly in a single layer over the meat sauce.

Cheese: Spread 1 cup mozzarella cheese evenly over the ravioli.

Sauce: Spread another 1 cup of the meat sauce evenly on top. 

Ravioli: Place 1/3 of the ravioli evenly in a single layer over the meat sauce.

Cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese evenly over the ravioli.

Sauce: Evenly spread the remaining of the meat sauce on top.

Ravioli: Place the remaining 1/3 of ravioli in a single layer over the meat sauce.

Cheese: Spread the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the ravioli and top with parmesan cheese.

Assemble:

Lightly grease a large piece of aluminum foil and cover the casserole pan with the greased side inside. Greasing the foil prevents the melted cheese from sticking to the foil while baking.

Bake the ravioli covered for 45-50 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes or until the melted cheese turns golden brown and bubbly. Optionally, turn on broiler on high and broil for 3-4 minutes to get a crispy and brown cheesy crust. But keep a close eye on the broiler as things can burn quickly.

Let the baked ravioli cool for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle on some chopped parsley, if desired.

Bake the ravioli:

Baked ravioli is only 3 simple ingredients and always a hit! Gooey cheese, savory sauce, and perfectly cooked ravioli makes an amazing dinner. 

cheese ravioli (25 ounces)

spaghetti sauce (24 ounces)

Spread about ½ cup of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish.

Place a layer of ravioli in the dish, then spread half of the remaining sauce over it, and sprinkle with one cup of mozzarella.  Place another layer of ravioli, the remaining sauce, and the remaining one cup of mozzarella.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.  Uncover, and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired.

This Baked Ravioli with Frozen Ravioli is a game-changer for busy weeknights. It&#39;s reminiscent of lasagna, but with a lot less effort. Using frozen cheese ravioli cuts down on prep time, and layers of marinara sauce and melted cheeses create a great meal that&#39;s easy and comes together in 1 hour.

(24 ounces) marinara sauce

(25 ounces) frozen cheese ravioli (do not thaw)

Parmesan cheese

basil (divided)

oregano (divided)

red pepper flakes (divided (optional))

fresh parsley

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Coat large baking dish (9x13-inch rectangular dish or large circular dish will work) with nonstick cooking spray or a little olive oil.

Layer Sauce and Ravioli: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the dish. Arrange a single layer of frozen ravioli over sauce. Then, add more sauce on top of ravioli.

Add Cheese and Herbs: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over sauce. Then, sprinkle about half of the dried basil, half of the dried oregano, and half of the red pepper flakes.

Repeat Layers: Repeat layers with remaining sauce, ravioli, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

Bake: Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Optionally, turn on oven broiler and broil for 30-90 seconds, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Garnish and Serve: Let cool for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley, then serve.

This is a perfect sunday evening recipe that tastes like it took hours but is actually quick and easy.  My kids loved this.  Going into the rotation.

My partner said YUM with the first mouth full and went back for seconds even though he’s on a “diet”. I will make it again and again! Thanks for a great recipe.
