Ingredients

  • 24 ounces marinara sauce, divided (we like Rao's)
  • 1 ½ to 2 pounds frozen ravioli
  • 16 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a 9x13-inch (or similar) casserole dish, pour in half of the marinara sauce and evenly coat the bottom of the dish.
  • Place frozen ravioli in a single layer until the dish is filled.
  • Spread the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the top of the ravioli layer.
  • Add another single layer of frozen ravioli on top of the ricotta cheese.
  • Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the ravioli.
  • Sprinkle an even layer of mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and fresh basil on top.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  • Garnish with additional fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
  • Freezing: This freezes well either baked or unbaked for 2 months. Just cover well with plastic wrap and foil to protect against freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking, or add an extra 30 minutes to bake from frozen.
  • How to reheat lasagna: Warm individual servings in the microwave, or cover and bake in a casserole dish for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F until heated through.
  • Any variety of frozen ravioli can be used to suit your tastes - beef, cheese, mushroom, etc.
  • The egg can be omitted from the recipe if desired. The ricotta cheese layer will be slightly softer, have less structure, and be “runnier”. However, the overall flavor of the dish isn’t affected.
