Easy Ravioli Lasagna

Sharing is caring!

For a quick and easy weeknight dinner try my 4-Ingredient Ravioli Lasagna. This Easy Ravioli Lasagna comprises a ground beef and marinara sauce layer, however the traditional lasagna layer is replaced with cheesy ravioli instead, before being topped with mozzarella and baked to perfection in the oven.

Easy Ravioli Lasagna

I first saw this Easy Ravioli Lasagna dish on TikTok, it’s one of those popular recipes that trend on TikTok because they are super simple to make and use very few ingredients.

Easy Cheesy Ravioli Lasagna is made using ground beef, cheese stuffed ravioli, a jar of your favorite marinara pasta sauce and some shredded mozzarella. It can be prepared in just 5 minutes, then the oven does all the hard work.

If you were really pushed for time, you could even prepare this 4-ingredient dinner dish earlier in the day, store in the refrigerator, ready to place in the oven later in the day.

I like to serve any pasta dish with a side of garlic bread or crusty bread, perfect for mopping up all the pasta sauce.

Recipe ingredients

• MEAT: I used 1 pound of ground beef to serve.
• TOMATO SAUCE: for ease use a jar of your favorite store-bought pasta sauce, of your own homemade tomato pasta sauce in this recipe.
• RAVIOLI: I used a 25 ounce package of frozen cheese ravioli.
• CHEESE: top the lasagna with mozzarella cheese.

How to make Ravioli Lasagna

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Brown the ground beef in a large skillet.

• When the meat is cooked through, add the pasta sauce and stir to mix.
• Reduce heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until warmed through.

• Arrange the ravioli in an even layer along the bottom of the baking dish.

• Top with a layer of meat sauce and a layer of cheese.

• Continue layering the ingredients in the pan until all the pasta has been used, ending with a layer of pasta sauce and a layer of cheese on top.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese on top is melted.

Flavor variations

• I made the lasagna with ground beef, but you could also use ground lamb or pork, or try a combination of ground meat like beef and pork.
• I’ve used a cheese stuffed ravioli as I wanted to make a cheesy ravioli lasagne, but you can use any variety or flavor of stuffed ravioli.
• Add extra vegetables to the tomato sauce, some diced onions, zucchini, celery or eggplant.
• Stir some minced fresh garlic through the tomato sauce.

What to serve with Ravioli Lasagna

This hearty bowl of lasagna packs a real flavor punch, so keep any side dishes simple. A green salad with a side of garlic bread or crusty bread on the table.

If you want to include some extra vegetable sides, try something quick and easy like my Oven Roasted Garlic Parmesan Asparagus, Sheet Pan Roasted Broccoli or my Roasted Green Beans.

Recipe hints & tips

• Take time to properly brown the ground meat, this will add to the flavor of the finished dish.
• Check the marinara sauce for seasoning and add more salt and black pepper if needed.
