  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Place a layer of ravioli over the sauce, ensuring they are evenly spread.
  5. Spoon dollops of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli, spreading it gently with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the ricotta.
  7. Repeat the layering process until you run out of ingredients, finishing with sauce and a generous layer of mozzarella on top.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  9. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  11. Allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving this incredible Ravioli Lasagna.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh ravioli and high-quality cheeses.
  • Experiment with different sauces like pesto or Alfredo for variations.
  • Adding fresh herbs like parsley or oregano enhances the taste.
  • Baking covered initially keeps moisture in and ensures proper ravioli cooking.
  • Letting the lasagna rest for 10 minutes after baking helps the layers set for easier slicing.
