Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 24 oz Marinara sauce
- 25 oz Frozen cheese ravioli
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, and black pepper with the cooked sausage. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce to coat the bottom of the dish.
Arrange a single layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese over the ravioli and sprinkle with 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella. Add a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese as well.
Repeat the layering process two more times: meat sauce, ravioli, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan, finishing with a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan on the very top layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden brown on top.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving, if desired.
