This Ravioli Lasagna is delicious and so easy to make. The family will absolutely love it! Spoiler alert: you do NOT need to precook the ravioli for this! How awesome is that!
Thank you to Ragu for sponsoring today’s post and inspiring me to remake a family recipe to make it super easy and super yummy! And, thank YOU, dear readers, for visiting my sponsor, Ragu, and helping to support Life Currents!
When I first became a vegetarian, one of the first things I learned how to make was a veggie lasagna. It was delicious, but it was tons of work to make. You had to sauté all the veggies separately, make a béchamel sauce, boil the lasagna noodles, then layer it all together and bake.
Like I said, it was delicious, but who has time for all that! (Maybe one day I’ll make that lasagna again so you can see the recipe; I know my sister-in-law has asked me for the recipe because it sounds so good to her). UPDATE: I have posted the recipe. It’s so good, if not a lot of work. Find it here.
I’ve made many lasagnas since those early days. I even have a couple that I’ve shared here on the blog: Red Pepper and Fresh Mozzarella Lasagna and Pumpkin Lasagna with Roasted Butternut Squash. But, for ease and quickness, this Ravioli Lasagna is amazing!
I first saw this Ravioli Lasagna recipe over on Recipes for My Boys, where Debi (my sista in name) shared it about a year ago. Debi is one of the first bloggers that I “met”. Of course, I felt an immediate connection because of her name, but her food is accessible, yummy, and she’s a sweet person, so there are many reasons to like her.
I remember once she sent me an email saying that her boys loved playing with a game that I had on my site at the time. How cool that someone took the time to send me a sweet thank you for something on my blog.
This Ravioli Lasagna is super easy! Just layer it all together and bake, and you have a delicious meal! And, we always have leftovers, so I have lunch for the next day as well. Heck, you could even buy a pre-shredded Italian blend cheese, and you wouldn’t have to shred the cheese yourself.
I always have a jar of Italian Seasoning in the cupboard. It’s easy to mix up your own and keep it on hand for any meal!
Using Ragu sauce in a jar makes it super easy and super delicious! I used the Old World Traditional Style. It’s nice and thick and rich.
Use any kind of ravioli you’d like. I like to use mushroom ravioli so that there’s some more veggies in the dish. But, you can use cheese ravioli, spinach ravioli, chicken, whatever you and your family like!
I encourage you to visit Ragu‘s website to discover the Ragu heritage story; it’s a really cool story about Assunta Cantisano; the story of a woman and a dream. Ragu. Crafted with Passion. Simmered in Tradition.
