Ingredients
Scale
Dairy:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Pasta:
- 1 (25 ounces/709 grams) bag frozen cheese ravioli
Sauce:
- 1 (24 ounces/680 grams) jar tomato sauce
Instructions
- Prepare a 375F (190C) heated oven for baking the lasagna.
- Create a foundational layer of tomato sauce across the entire bottom surface of the baking dish.
- Strategically place frozen ravioli in a single uniform row, covering the sauce completely.
- Generously shower mozzarella cheese over the ravioli, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Continue constructing alternating layers of sauce, ravioli, and cheese until all ingredients are incorporated, making certain the final layer features a robust cheese topping.
- Securely shield the dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive moisture loss and potential burning.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes, allowing ravioli to heat thoroughly and flavors to meld together.
- Uncover the lasagna and return to the oven, allowing an additional 10-15 minutes for cheese to transform into a golden, crispy, and bubbling surface.
- Remove from oven and permit the lasagna to rest and slightly cool for easier serving and optimal texture blending.
Notes
- Customize ravioli types to match dietary needs, like choosing gluten-free or spinach-filled varieties for added nutrition.
- Experiment with cheese blends by mixing mozzarella with parmesan or ricotta for deeper flavor complexity.
- Enhance sauce options by using marinara, arrabbiata, or homemade tomato sauce to create unique taste profiles.
- Add protein variety by incorporating cooked ground beef, Italian sausage, or plant-based crumbles between layers for extra heartiness.
