RAVIOLI LASAGNA

Ravioli Lasagna this has become my favorite lasagna recipe ever! This delicious recipe is so easy to make and flowing over the flavor!

I don’t know of anyone that isn’t looking for ways to make dinner easier. I have learned that just because a recipe is easier to make doesn’t mean your missing out on deliciousness.

This ravioli lasagna is cheesy, saucy, and just downright perfect. It’s a delicious version on a traditional lasagna.

The ravioli goes in frozen, no extra prep work, so it’s basically just combining a few ingredients and then baking.

Ravioli Lasagna

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 medium onion, chopped

salt, and black pepper, to taste

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (32-oz.) jar marinara

16 oz. whole milk ricotta

1 large egg

1 c. freshly grated Parmesan, divided

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 (12-oz.) packages frozen cheese ravioli

2 c. shredded mozzarella

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350º and grease a 9”-x-13” baking dish with cooking spray. Warm a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat and add ground beef and onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 10 minutes, then drain fat and return to skillet. Stir in garlic and marinara, then reduce heat and simmer for flavors to marry, 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add ricotta, egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Spread 1/3 of the meat sauce into the prepared pan. Top with a single layer of ravioli, half of the remaining meat sauce, half of the ricotta mixture, and half of the mozzarella and remaining Parmesan. Repeat layers, ending on cheeses.
Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden and bubbly, 15 minutes more.
