Easy 4-Ingredient Ravioli Lasagna

If you're anything like me, some days just call for comfort food without the fuss. That's where this Ravioli Lasagna comes in!

It's cheesy, comforting, and packed with flavor—but without all the time-consuming prep. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can have a delicious homemade lasagna on the table in no time. Trust me, it's the perfect weeknight dinner when you want something satisfying without all the work!

I like to use spinach cheese ravioli, but feel free to use plain cheese or meat ravioli. And even better news? You don't even have to boil the ravioli. Just put it in the pan with marinara sauce, cheese, and bake! So easy!

This ravioli lasagna is so easy to pair with a variety of sides. Try serving it with a simple green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal.

And if you have leftovers (or if you're making it in advance), it freezes wonderfully, making it perfect for meal prep or sharing with loved ones who could use a comforting, homemade dish. Whether it's for a friend who's under the weather or a busy family, this lasagna is an excellent meal to deliver with love and care.

Maria's Tips for Success!

  • Ravioli Flavors: I like to use spinach and cheese, but meat or plain cheese ravioli work well too! Use your favorite brand.
  • No need to thaw: You can use the ravioli straight from the freezer—no boiling required!
  • Customize it: Add a layer of cooked ground beef or sausage between layers if you want a meaty version.
  • Go veggie: Mix in some fresh or frozen spinach between layers for a little green. You can also add cooked mushrooms, zucchini, or peppers!
  • Crispy top: If you want a golden-brown, crispy cheese topping, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of the baking time.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (25 oz) jars marinara sauce
  • 40 oz frozen cheese ravioli (or beef or spinach cheese)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spread half of a jar of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add half of the ravioli in an even layer over the sauce.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese over the sauce. Top with another layer of sauce, remaining ravioli, remaining sauce, and 1 cup mozzarella and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, sprayed side down. Bake the lasagna for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Remove pan from oven let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with basil, if desired. Serve warm.
