Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (25 oz) bag frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 (24 oz) jar tomato sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dish evenly.
- Sauce Layer: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking and provide a flavorful base.
- Arrange Ravioli: Place a single layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce, ensuring even coverage for consistent cooking.
- Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the ravioli to create melty, cheesy layers.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering sauce, ravioli, and mozzarella cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cheese layer on top for a bubbly crust.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes to cook the ravioli through and melt the cheese.
- Brown Cheese: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese on top is golden and bubbly, adding texture and flavor.
- Rest and Serve: Let the lasagna cool slightly before serving to allow it to set for easier slicing and improved taste.
Notes
- Use frozen ravioli directly without thawing to save time.
- Feel free to customize with additional herbs like basil or oregano in the tomato sauce for extra flavor.
- Letting the dish rest after baking helps the layers firm up for cleaner portions.
- For crispier cheese topping, broil in the last 2-3 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning.
