Description
This lazy lasagna recipe delivers all the cheesy, saucy comfort of traditional lasagna in just 60 minutes by using frozen ravioli to cut prep time by 65%.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jar (24 oz) marinara or pasta sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook ground beef and onion in a skillet 6–8 minutes until browned; add garlic, then stir in pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce in baking dish. Layer frozen ravioli, more sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat 2–3 layers, finishing with mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
- Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Do not thaw ravioli. Resting after baking prevents layers from sliding apart.
