Lasagne is amazing. It’s also a pain in the butt. Boil noodles, mix ricotta, layer everything like you’re building the Eiffel Tower—it’s a whole production. Enter: Ravioli Lasagne.

This recipe is my weeknight hack for when I want lasagne but don’t want to spend three hours pretending I’m on Top Chef. Spoiler alert: it tastes just as good, maybe better, because you didn’t have to work for it. Bonus points: frozen ravioli seems to play nicer with your blood sugar. Yep, fewer glycemic index spikes while still delivering all the cheesy comfort. Consider it a win for both your taste buds and your pancreas.

Why Ravioli Lasagne Works

Built-in cheese filling. Ravioli already has ricotta inside, so you skip the mixing bowl drama.
Minimal layering. Sauce, ravioli, cheese. Repeat. Done. Repeat until you run out of patience or ingredients.
Family-approved. My crew devoured it like it was a five-star meal. No complaints, no leftovers.

How to Make It

Grab a bag of ravioli, a jar of marinara, some mozzarella, and boom—you’re halfway there. Brown some meat if you want extra flavor, then layer everything in a baking dish. Bake until bubbly, serve with garlic bread, and watch everyone fight over seconds.

Deliciousness!

This dish is proof that shortcuts can be delicious. Ravioli lasagne is cozy, cheesy, and perfect for busy nights when you want comfort food without the chaos.

Deliciousness, With a Side of Reality

This dish is proof that shortcuts can be delicious. Ravioli lasagne is cozy, cheesy, and perfect for busy nights when you want comfort food without the chaos.

Now, full disclosure: when I plated mine, it looked like a hot mess. Why is it that everyone else’s lasagne slices look Instagram-worthy, but mine flops over like it fainted? Whatever. It still tasted amazing, and that’s what counts.

If you’re like me and buy ground turkey in bulk, cook it, and portion it out when you get home—this recipe is basically begging to be in your rotation. It’s quick, it’s hearty, and it doesn’t require you to channel your inner Italian grandmother.

So go ahead—skip the noodles, use the ravioli, skip the ricotta (I’m a cottage cheese girl myself), and let ravioli do the heavy lifting. Your taste buds (and your sanity) will thank you.

Prep Time 2 30

Servings: 8

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1-2 jars spaghetti sauce
1 16 oz block mozzarella shredded
1 2 lbs ground turkey (or ground beef)
1-2 12 oz container of cottage cheese
1 tbsp olive oil for cooking ground turkey/beef with onion
1 block parmesan cheese

Equipment

1 large bakeware glass (15.5 x 9.3 x 2.1-inch)
2 pans for cooking sauce and browning meat
2-3 large spoons for layering

Method

Cook the ground turkey and onion in oil until no longer pink. Add 1-2 tsp of garlic (as much as the heart tells you). Let simmer 5-8 minutes. Then add your sauce and let simmer 18-22 minutes. Then if you have time you can let this cool some.
Spray the glass bakeware with oil before you begin layering. First put down a layer of sauce and meat. Then add cottage cheese, mozzarella and raviolis. Continue layering until the container is full. Add parmesan to the top using a microplaner or grate it in a food processor. Heat oven up to 400*. Spray a piece of aluminum foil on the top so it doesn't stick to the top layer of lasagne. Bake the lasagne for 30 minutes then take the aluminum foil off and bake an additional 22-28 minutes or until cheese is melted, and sauce is bubbly. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes to let the flavors and the sauce gel together a bit.

Notes

Tips: You do not have to cook the ravioli first. Just begin layering it frozen in the pan.

Once the lasagne cools store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can reheat in the microwave or the oven until warmed through. If you’d like to freeze this just wrap it in saran wrap and store it in containers. Freeze for up to two months. let it thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
