How to freeze:

This easy lasagna recipe definitely freezes great. Make the recipe as directed except don’t bake. Just allow it to cool. Make sure you are using a foil throw away pan.

  1. I call this ravioli casserole. I haven’t made it in a long time. such a quick yummy adaptation to a classic Italian dish

  3. Easy and delicious! I doubled the recipe,and boy was I glad that I did!??My husband and I both loved it!

  7. You can also you can also use meat filled ravioli instead of ground meat as a layer just put tomato sauce in between I have also used cheese raviolis layered with seafood filled raviolis and a bechamel sauce both were great and much easier

  9. Can you do any easy Dutch oven recipes for camping? Recipes that do not require preheating.

  10. I prepped this before work. When I get home I will just throw it in the oven. Super easy to prep. I used a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheese and left out the parmesan. We will see how it turns out in a few hours.

  14. I made this could not find stuffed ravioli so used a different stuffed pasta was a winner in my house

  16. I have this in the oven, I added some sugar to the sauce. Kind of think 1/2 TBSP of italian seasoning is alot, so I cut back on it before adding.R

  17. Rosemary – I don’t think so, but you can definitely adjust it down if you like. Thanks!

  21. Do you need to boil the ravioli first? There’s no directions on what to do with them….

  29. I want to fix in the morning and cook in the evening.Do I use frozen or fresh raviolis?

  31. I put together when I got home from work and in the oven now. Smells delicious!!! I did use crushed fire roasted tomatoes and a little sugar. Also added a little red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. ?

  33. You say crushed tomatoes than it says canned tomatoes which is it. Can you use diced?

  34. It’s crushed tomatoes. You can used diced or tomato sauce if you prefer. Thank you.

  36. It’s not Italian dressing for this recipe. It’s Italian seasoning which is in the spices section at your local grocery store. Thanks!
