How to Make Ravioli Lasagna
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce across the bottom of the dish.
- Arrange a single layer of ravioli over the sauce, covering the entire bottom of the pan. Spoon more sauce over the ravioli, then sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella, covering the entire layer.
- Repeat the layering with another row of ravioli, more sauce, and the rest of the cheese. Once done making layers, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with your favorite garlic bread.
