An easy dinner the whole family will rave over, this "lazy lasagna" is made with frozen ravioli and comes together in under 10 minutes with only 4 ingredients. I mean...it doesn't get better than that!
This is the recipe that I tell every bachelor I know to have in their backpocket of recipes to make that impress whomever they are wanting to impress. Ravioli lasagna is almost as good as the real thing with a fraction of the work.
You would be surprised how many times a bachelor asks for a recipe that is easy, tastes amazing, and looks absolutely delicious!
Layers of sauce, cheese, and ravioli are an effortless way to recreate an amazing lasagna without the fuss of lasagna noodles.
Using frozen ravioli keeps this recipe crazy easy to make and a great recipe to make ahead and store in the fridge until you are ready to bake it.

Do I have to use frozen ravioli?
No, you can certainly use whatever kind you like. Even the specialty kind found in the dairy section of the grocery. But frozen ravioli is the most budget friendly and easiest to work with. But try whatever is your family's favorite kind of ravioli!
I like to make up a quick homemade spaghetti sauce for my pasta dishes. But I always keep a jar of our favorite pasta sauce for my husband and kids to use.
No shame in the jarred sauce game! This easy dinner is all about fast and delicious. And easy enough for anyone to make it!
Just like in lasagna, you are going to layer up the ingredients. Sauce, cheese, frozen ravioli...repeat.
And bake it until it is bubbling, golden, and making the whole house smell like an Italian restaurant. Sooo good!
And you, my friend, are an amazing cook!
Just look at that! Gooey, cheesy, saucy, and full of yumminess. I won't tell anyone how easy it was if you don't! Or do. Share the great recipe.
