RAVIOLI LASAGNA

Ravioli lasagna is a delicious twist on traditional lasagna, using ravioli instead of lasagna noodles. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (about 450g) of your favorite ravioli (cheese, meat, or spinach-filled)
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions until they are just al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Spread a thin layer of the marinara mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
5. Arrange a layer of cooked ravioli on top of the sauce, making sure they cover the bottom of the dish evenly.
6. Spoon half of the remaining marinara mixture over the ravioli layer and spread it out evenly.
7. Repeat the layers with the remaining cooked ravioli and marinara mixture.
8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the lasagna.
9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
11. Let the ravioli lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves, if desired.
12. Serve hot and enjoy!
