Ravioli Lasagne

There are few things that bring a family together like a warm, hearty meal shared around the dinner table. For me, this Million Dollar Ravioli Lasagna has become one of those dishes that everyone in my household gets excited about.

It started as a happy accident, a weeknight scramble to use up some frozen ravioli, but quickly turned into a must-have recipe we’ve added to our meal rotation.

The first time I made it, I wasn’t sure how my kids would react, but the cheesy, gooey layers had them hooked at the first bite. Even my picky eater asked for seconds, which is the ultimate mom win in my book!

What I love most about this dish is how simple it is to prepare without sacrificing any of that indulgent, homemade flavor. It combines all the best parts of lasagna, the creamy ricotta, rich marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella but without the hassle of boiling noodles or layering everything perfectly.

Using ravioli as the base feels like a stroke of genius because it cuts down on prep time while still delivering all the comfort and decadence you crave. Plus, it’s customizable! I’ve swapped in spinach ravioli for a veggie boost and even tried it with sausage-filled ravioli for extra heartiness.

This recipe has become our go-to for everything from busy weeknights to potlucks, where it’s always a crowd-pleaser. Trust me, once you’ve tried it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. It’s the kind of meal that makes everyone feel loved, and in our home, it’s nothing short of magic.

Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe

Can I use fresh ravioli instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh ravioli works perfectly! Just adjust the cooking time slightly since fresh pasta cooks faster than frozen.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can assemble it a day in advance, cover it tightly with foil, and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
Reheat in the oven at 350°F, covered with foil, until warmed through. For individual portions, the microwave works too.

Can I freeze this dish?
Yes! Assemble the lasagna in a freezer-safe dish, cover it well, and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 15-20 minutes to the baking time.

What if I don’t have ricotta cheese?
You can substitute cottage cheese or even a mix of cream cheese and sour cream for a similar creamy texture.

What You Need to Make Ravioli Lasagna

Ingredients:

2 (25 oz) bags of frozen cheese ravioli

2 cups marinara sauce

2 cups alfredo sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 cup ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Tools:

9×13-inch baking dish

Aluminum foil

Large mixing spoon or spatula

How to Make Ravioli Lasagna

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Prepare the sauces: In a bowl, combine the marinara and alfredo sauces. Mix well to create a creamy, flavorful base.

Layer the ingredients: Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture on the bottom of the baking dish. Add a single layer of frozen ravioli, followed by dollops of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of sauce and cheese on top.

Cover and bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and serve: Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Ravioli Lasagna

Mix up the ravioli flavors: Try spinach and cheese ravioli for a veggie twist or meat-filled ravioli for extra protein.

Boost the flavor: Add a layer of cooked ground beef, sausage, or sautéed vegetables for added depth.

Use high-quality sauces: If you have time, homemade marinara or alfredo will take this dish to the next level.

Don’t skip the resting time: Allowing the lasagna to rest before serving helps the layers set and makes slicing easier.
