How to Make Ravioli Lasagna
*I’ll walk you through it here with some photos and tips, and you’ll also find a printable recipe card at the bottom of the post with exact measurements, etc. You can also click “jump to recipe” to skip down.
Lightly butter an 8Ă—8 or 9Ă—6 baking dish. Spread 1/3 cup of the sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Pro tip: you do not need to precook the ravioli before adding it to the baking dish!
Layer 1/3 of the cheese ravioli on top of the sauce and then spread another 1/2 cup of sauce on top of that.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan on top of that.
Repeat this process two more times, until you have a total of three layers of ravioli, sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
Cover your baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and then bake for another 15 minutes.
And if you’re feeling extra (in this case, definitely be extra), to make the top layer of cheese extra gooey, broil on high for 1-2 minutes, watching the oven carefully so it doesn’t burn.
Variations
Use any flavor of ravioli that you like; it doesn’t have to be cheese. Love spinach or chicken, or lobster (lobstah)? Go for it!Â
Lorie over at Lemons and Zest swears by adding thinly sliced cooked meatballs to baked pasta dishes. Interested? Check out these Air Fryer Meatballs.
Any meat, like ground beef, ground chicken, or Italian sauage you might want to add to the lasagna should be cooked on the stovetop before adding it to the ravioli lasagna.
To up the cheese factor (yes, please!), put a few dollops of ricotta or blended cottage cheese on top of the layers of ravioli.
Feel free to add in some fresh (or frozen) spinach, swiss chard, or finely chopped kale to the sauce to get some greens into your baked ravioli. If you want to add any other veggies like zucchini or mushrooms, make sure you saute them first to reduce the water that will be produced.
How to Store and Reheat
Storing leftovers: Allow the ravioli casserole to fully cool before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Reheating leftovers: You can reheat it in the microwave for 60-90 seconds, or in the oven at 300ËšF for 10-15 minutes.
Freezing leftovers: You can freeze fully cooled leftovers in freezer-safe containers for 2-3 months.
I’m a huge fan of doubling this recipe or making one recipe divided into two portions. One to eat and one to freeze. You can make the ravioli lasagna in a bread loaf pan, or actually bake and freeze directly in Souper Cubes. Yes, you CAN bake in these trays!
To freeze unbaked: assemble, cover with foil, and store in the freezer for 2-3 months. Bake from frozen; you’ll need to add about 5 more minutes of cooking time.
What to serve with this recipe
With so much delicious cheese and ravioli packed into this dish, I highly recommend pairing it with a side of tasty veggies like Cabbage Chopped Salad, Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Frozen Broccoli, Garlic Butter Green Beans, Pea Salad, or Roasted Frozen Cauliflower.
And if you’re looking for more carbs (yes, please!), try our Cheesy Garlic Bread, Air Fryer Texas Toast, or Stuffing Biscuits.
