Baked Ravioli
Lasagna is a staple at my house. But after a while, it can get a little boring. This Baked Ravioli is essentially lasagna made with ravioli instead of lasagna noodles. It is a pasta lover’s dream. I used cheese ravioli, but try it with your favorite kind of ravioli to add variety. You could even make you own ravioli if you prefer.

Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 13 ounces tomato sauce
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 Tablespoon italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 12.5 ounces refrigerated ravioli
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzerella cheese
Directions:
In a large saucepan on the stovetop, brown ground beef. After ground beef is browned, stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, italian seasoning, black pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Layer meat sauce, ravioli, and shredded cheese in a baking pan just like you would a lasagna. I made my raviolis line up in straight lines because it was pretty, but it’s not necessary. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until ravioli is tender.
Freezing Directions:
Assemble as directed but do not bake. Cover tightly with foil. Label and freeze. To serve: thaw in fridge. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until ravioli is tender.
Servings: 4

This looks great! What size pan should I use? 9×9?
Sarah, if you make the full 8 servings, you can use either two 8×8 baking pans or one 9X13 pan. The 8×8 pans fit in the freezer better if you are freezing it. Enjoy!
If I make homemade raviolis do I boil them before placing them in the pan?
No, you would bake them instead of boiling. Let us know how the homemade ravioli turn out! Sounds delicious.
This looks great! What brand of ravioli do you use?
I think I used a store brand of refrigerated ravioli. Bertoli is a name brand one that the stores carry in my area but any refrigerated ravioli would work.
When you use the store-bought ravioli, do you boil it, or does it just bake in the oven?
No need to boil- just bake it in the oven!
Great, thank you! And they freeze/thaw well? What brand of ravioli do you use?
sorry, i see you already answered the question about the brand. :)
