Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 lbs bulk Italian sausage
1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce (Prego,Ragu,etc)
1 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (10 oz)
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the sausage in a 10-inch skillet until no longer pink.
  • Drain the grease.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of pasta sauce in an ungreased 13x9x2" baking pan.
  • In the pan, arrange a single layer of the ravioli over the sauce.
  • Evenly pour another 1 cup of sauce over the ravioli.
  • Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the sausage over this, then 1 cup of the mozzarella on top of the sausage.
  • Repeat layers with remaining ravioli, sauce and sausage.
  • Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate at least 8 hours, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake covered for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozarella and the parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for another 15 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Tips:

  • Make the lasagna ahead of time: This dish can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. When you're ready to bake, simply remove the lasagna from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your lasagna will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful sausage, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna: Lasagna is best when it is cooked until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make the lasagna dry and tough.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: After baking, let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.

Conclusion:

Do-ahead ravioli sausage lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your lasagna turns out perfectly every time. So next time you're short on time, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
