Instructions

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

If using frozen ravioli, cook per package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Layer half the ravioli over the sauce. Top with half of the ricotta mixture, spreading evenly.

Add more marinara and a layer of mozzarella.

Repeat with remaining ravioli, ricotta, marinara, and mozzarella.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Let sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

You can assemble the lasagna up to 24 hours in advance and bake when ready.
For extra protein, add cooked sausage or ground beef between the layers.
Add sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for a vegetarian variation.
Use meat or spinach-filled ravioli for a twist.
Let the lasagna rest before cutting for cleaner slices.
