Ravioli Lasagna is a delicious mix of two favorite pasta dishes. This easy lasagna recipe is made with layers of ravioli, marinara sauce mixed with Italian sausage, and plenty of cheese. Everyone will love this ravioli lasagna bake. It’s the perfect weeknight meal!

What’s in This Easy Lasagna Recipe?

This ravioli lasagna bake is the combination of two favorite Italian dishes: ravioli and lasagna! We love casseroles of any kind because they’re so easy to make and they always turn out amazing. It’s a stress-free way to get dinner on the table every night! 

• Ground Beef: We like ground chuck, but 80-85% lean ground beef also works.
• Sausage: Use sweet Italian sausage with the casings removed.
• Marinara Sauce: Use your favorite store-bought sauce, or make your own homemade marinara sauce.
• Italian Seasoning: Adds a punch of Italian flavor to the sauce.
• Ravioli: We like cheese ravioli for this recipe. Both fresh and frozen work (no need to thaw).
• Cheese: A combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses is the perfect topping for this lasagna bake.

Variations on Ravioli Lasagna

We have used different kinds of meat for this recipe. Ground chicken or turkey makes a great replacement for the ground beef, and hot Italian sausage adds a nice spicy kick! To save time, you could skip the meat and use a jar of bolognese sauce from the store.

For the ravioli, use your favorite kind! Spinach and ricotta, sausage, chicken, lobster, tomato basil, or mushroom are all great choices.

Serving Suggestions

We serve this easy lasagna recipe is perfect served with a sliced and toasted baguette. We use it to scoop up the leftover meat sauce at the end of the meal, and it’s *chef’s kiss*. If you’re wanting a little something extra, a nice Caesar salad would fit right in.
