Scale
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 ensure a hot environment for even baking.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking and add flavor to the base.
- Layer Ravioli: Arrange a single layer of frozen cheese ravioli on top of the sauce. Do not thaw the ravioli before layering.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the ravioli to create a cheesy layer.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers of tomato sauce, ravioli, and mozzarella cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of cheese.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep moisture in and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the ravioli to cook through.
- Uncover and Brown: Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese on top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the lasagna cool slightly before serving to allow the layers to set and enhance flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the tomato sauce with marinara or your favorite pasta sauce for a different flavor.
- Adding cooked ground beef or vegetables between layers can make the dish heartier.
- Use whole grain or gluten-free ravioli to make it suitable for specific dietary needs.
- Let the lasagna rest for about 5 minutes before serving to make slicing easier and prevent it from falling apart.
