Ravioli "Lasagna"

“Thanks Tish. I was looking for a recipe that was meatless, easy, and unlike anything I had tried before. This recipe met all those requirements. I added a little oregano to the sauce and a small amount of salt and pepper. Outstanding taste. Very cheesy and well pasta is my all-time fav. DH, who thinks spinach is vile, even liked it. Many thanks.”

“Simple, easy & tasty.I substitued the ravioli with tortellini and it worked great.I cooked the tortellini according to package directions, allowed it to cool and assembled as the lasagna recipe stated.Thanks for posting, Tish!”

“I watch Rachel Ray on the food network, she was making vegetable ravioli lasagna.She kind of gave this recipe by word of mouth as she was cooking.I made it the next day and will never make traditional lasagna again!My son and my husband raved and raved about this dish!I would add a little water to the sauce next time though, it was a little dry to me.”

“Yup this is a KEEPER! My honey who doesn’t like anything GREEN had to helpings and didn’t even pick out the spinach! I added ground beef (which I cooked with some garlic!) to the recipe and I sprinkled some Parmigian Reggiano in between the layers also.”

“OMG is all I can say, what a wonderfully quick meal that tastes like you cooked for hours, great for after school sports season when you have all those practices.The only thing I did differently was to use spinach ravioli (to hide the spinach from my kids!) I even got the sauce from my favorite restaurant they will sell small containers it was wonderful.Great recipe thanks for sharing”

“This is a great recipe,easy and full of flavor.Also, the kids enjoyed it.”

“I liked this recipe a lot except for the spinach.It just didn’t get hidden enough by the sauce for me.Next time I will leave out the spinach or puree it into the sauce for the extra nutrition.Thanks for posting this fast and yummy recipe!”

“I like this a lot, although I always seem to need to cook it a bit longer than it calls for.I can’t leave anything alone, and have added chopped mushrooms, chopped olives, and the above mentioned meat filled raviolis.All were good!!”

“SOOO easy & good for picky eaters.No leftovers after this meal & that is very unusual for my house!”

“I’ll make this one again but use less cheese and maybe experiment with meat-filled ravioli. A bit too “cheesy” IMO.”

“We loved this, exactly as it is, and I’ll be making it again!!”

“this was very good. I used Trader Joes Beef Bolangese Ravioli(from the refrigerator case) and Trader Joe’s Puttanesca Sauce. DH loved it and so did I.”

“I made a variation of this recently. I used this recipe as a base, but instead of spinach, I crumbled italian sausage (my family hates spinach). It was great! The only change I’d make is instead of using shredded mozarella, I’d use the slices and layer it in. A great shortcut.”

“Something different! This is more like a ravioli casserole than a lasagna. I had read several reviews that said to cook the ravioli first; doing that, I wouldn’t say this is any faster or easier than making lasagna but something different. Also a double recipe fit in my lasagna pan so I suspect a half recipe could possibly fit in a square brownie pan.”

“Outstanding!This reminds me of the spinach stuffed shells I make but 1000 times easier.I followed exactly except to sprinkle each sauce layer with some garlic powder and italian seasoning.We loved this and will most definitely be making often.Thanks for posting this winner Tish!”

“The time to cook is WAY off. I defrosted my raviolis first, and it still took 1 1/2 hours to cook… not 25 minutes! That said, this was delicious! I mixed in a can of ricotta cheese and some garlic powder with the spinach, used meat ravioli, mushroom pasta sauce, italian blend shredded cheese, and served with a side salad. My husband loved this so much that he took some over to his dad’s house for him to try! And talk about easy!I will definitley make this again, I’ll just plan on it taking alot longer to cook.”

“We really liked this recipe.For some reason it took significantly longer than stated, but that was okay.The next day it was even better!”

“Quick and easy that’s forsure.I had some fresh mozzarella cheese on hand and used that.I had to cook mine longer than the time stated but other than that it turned out well the family enjoyed it.”

“very good and easy! We skipped the spinach and found this to be a great work night meal. Thanks for sharing!”

“Is there such a thing as too much cheese??? NO!!! This is so good! I needed something quick and easy to fix tonight, and this was so good. It tasted great, too! I will definitely make this again. Ionly added half the spinach, because I am not a cooked spinach eater, and if it wasn’t green, I wouldn’t have known it was in there!!! Thanks for the delicious recipe!”
