I don’t know about you, but sometimes I crave a certain dish but either I don’t have all the supplies on hand or let’s face it… I’m feelin’ lazy. In steps today’s recipe, perfect for a day like this! Lazy day lasagna is a snazzy way of saying ravioli casserole. Oh yes.
Ingredients
20 oz ravioli, frozen
3 Cups meat sauce, or jarred sauce
1/2 Cup ricotta cheese
2 Cups shredded mozzarella (1 bag)
parmesan cheese for sprinkling
[adsenseyu3]
Directions
Cook raviolis through to the directions on the package. While they are cooking, heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the meat sauce with the ricotta so it is combined.
Spray an oven safe dish with cooking spray. Put about a half cup of the sauce on the bottom of the dish and spread it out. Layer on a single layer of ravioli. Top with some mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and another 1/2 cup of sauce. Keep doing this until you have layered all the raviolis.
Try to only use a half of the mozzarella cheese while layering, On the very top there should be the layer with the remaining sauce, top that with all of the mozzarella that is left. Cook this for about 25 minutes or until bubbly, no need to top it with foil. Let it cool before serving, this baby is hot!
That’s it! Dish it out and your in lazy lasagna heaven!

is it necessary to cook ravioli’s? Found another ravioli lasagne recipe which ravioli’s weren’t pre-cooked?
Dana DeVolk says
I never tried it that way so I can’t tell you for sure how it will come out. If you try it and it works, I’m sure we would all love to know! Thanks for asking.

By using store bought fresh ravioli you can eliminate the pro-cooking step. Mix sauce, layer in pan, and bake – the lazy recipe just got lazier.
Angelina says
It’s an interesting concept, but what are the frozen Ravioli which you’re using stuffed with (you didn’t specify),…. more cheese? This would be a good idea, if I could find frozen ravioli stuffed w/spinach, NOT more cheese! What’s the Nutritional Info of this recipe, especially the .Fat and the Sodium content? Sometimes ‘the lazy way’ isn’t the best way to go.
Dana DeVolk says
You’re very right. I didn’t specify which type of ravioli so anyone can use whichever ravioli they prefer. And, yes, I used cheese ravioli myself because that’s what I like. This is just an option for busy families, or anyone who needs a quick meal option. Not everyone has to make it.
