3.9 from 43 reviews

A quick and easy 4-ingredient ravioli lasagna that layers fresh cheese ravioli with Italian sausage and marinara sauce, topped with Italian cheese blend and baked to bubbly, cheesy perfection. Perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner and pairs well with roasted vegetables, salad, or garlic bread.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Nonstick spray
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (20-ounce) package fresh cheese ravioli (such as Buitoni or Rana)
  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking dish: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mild Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spatula. Stir frequently and cook for about 8 minutes until the sausage is fully cooked through.
  3. Add marinara sauce: Pour in the jar of marinara sauce over the cooked sausage. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through. Remove the skillet from heat and allow it to cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Build layers: Spread 1/2 cup of the sausage and sauce mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer one-third of the fresh cheese ravioli in a single layer on top. Repeat layering the sausage mixture and ravioli two more times, finishing with a final layer of sausage sauce on top.
  5. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Italian cheese blend evenly over the final layer of sauce.
  6. Bake covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  7. Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and the sauce is bubbly.
  8. Serve: Let the lasagna rest briefly before serving. It pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, a simple green salad, and garlic bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Choose your favorite marinara sauce for different flavor profiles, such as roasted garlic or arrabbiata for a spicy kick.
  • Frozen ravioli can be used without boiling. Let them thaw slightly while cooking the sausage and adjust baking time by adding 5 extra minutes to the uncovered baking step.
  • You can prep the lasagna up to three days in advance. Assemble and cover it, then refrigerate. Bring to room temperature as the oven preheats before baking as directed.
