I call this oven baked ravioli “lazy lasagna” because with all of the layering, it really does taste and feel just like lasagna. Baking the pasta definitely gives it a much richer flavor because the sauce gets nice and thick, and the browned cheese adds that extra toasty zing.


This 3 ingredient pasta recipe is quick, easy, cheap and SO YUMMY! What more can you ask for? I’m know I’m not the only busy mom out there with picky eaters. By the time dinner comes around I’m too tired to even think about dinner, let alone spend all night in the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 (25 oz bag) frozen ravioli
  • 1 (24 oz jar) pasta sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Spread about 3/4 cup of your pasta sauce onto the bottom of your baking dish.
  • Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  • Top with half of the remaining sauce and half of the mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat the layers starting with what's left of the frozen ravioli. Finish by topping with the remainder of the sauce and mozzarella. Sprinkle with parmesan if you'd like. 
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. 
  • Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, and then serve alone or with garlic bread, salad or veggies. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Try mixing it up with beef, chicken or spinach stuffed ravioli. You can also add things to the layers like pepperoni slices, sausage, ground beef, fresh basil leaves, veggies or garlic for added variety.
  • You could also add to or replace the red sauce with a jar of alfredo.
