Ravioli Lasagna

By Heather Wirtz January 20, 2015
Lasagna is one of my favorite comfort foods, but takes some planning and time to make. Time isn't something most families have extra of... so here is a great shortcut that will satisfy a craving for Italian comfort food! This can be put together in advance and baked just before dinnertime too!

Ingredients:
24 oz. marinara sauce
2 cups shredded cheese, we used an Italian blend
45 pieces large ravioli

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Spread 3/4 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 or 3 quart baking dish.
  3. Place 15 ravioli in a single layer on top of the sauce. Top ravioli with 3/4 cup sauce and 1/2 shredded cheese. Repeat this step making two more layers.
  4. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown and sauce is bubbly.
  7. Serve hot.
