Make a rich, comforting lasagna flavor without the fuss using frozen ravioli. This simple casserole bakes up fast for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan 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 ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Spread about 1 cup of the marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  5. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli layer. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  6. Spoon half of the remaining marinara sauce over the mozzarella.
  7. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, and the rest of the marinara sauce.
  8. Top the casserole evenly with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of frozen ravioli you prefer, such as meat or spinach and cheese.
  • For a richer flavor, use a high-quality marinara sauce.
  • If you want a slightly crispier top, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
