Description

This Lazy Lasagna recipe offers a quick and easy twist on traditional lasagna using frozen cheese ravioli. Layered with rich tomato sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese, it’s a comforting and cheesy baked dish perfect for a family dinner with minimal prep time.


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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dish evenly.
  2. Sauce Layer: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking and provide a flavorful base.
  3. Arrange Ravioli: Place a single layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce, ensuring even coverage for consistent cooking.
  4. Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the ravioli to create melty, cheesy layers.
  5. 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.
  6. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes to cook the ravioli through and melt the cheese.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
