What you need for this Ravioli lasagna recipe

Dairy free ravioli: here is truly the beauty layering in the details. You can use fresh or frozen ravioli. I use fresh, because that is what I get easily in my supermarket. Depending on the filling you have a lot of flavor in each and every bite which is great and delicious. You can go for mild or a little bit of spicier depending on your own preferences. Flavors are different and widely available so you can enjoy a lot of different tastes.

Vegan ground beef: provides a meaty and hearty texture that tastes so great as you know from classic lasagna in sauces.

Marinara sauce: Use your favorite, any variety that you always buy. Therefore it doesn’t matter with or without herbs, even mild or spicy tastes always great.

Vegan mozzarella shreds: this is such a great topping and makes the Ravioli Lasagna so cheesy and creamy, yum.

Onions and garlic: these are seriously add so much delicious taste to our sauce. In my opinion the more garlic the better. I can’t think about a tomato sauce that is made without garlic.

Olive oil: it is one of my favorite oils. It tastes always great, but feel free to use any oil you have and like.

Italian herbs: it is an amazing seasoning that goes well for a variety of dishes. You can’t mess up with this seasoning. For me this really should be always include in any lasagna sauce.

How to make Ravioli Lasagna

Start by preheating your oven to 410°F, set a 8×11 inch casserole ready.

Now cook your fresh ravioli according to manufacturer’s directions. However if you use frozen ones you don’t need to cook them, just skip ahead. 

Next heat olive oil over medium heat in frying pan. When hot add onions, garlic, vegan ground beef. Cook properly for around 4 minutes, then give Italian seasonings, tomato sauce, and a pinch of pepper to it. Remove from the stove.

Layering the Ravioli Lasagna: start with layer of sauce, following by ravioli, then cheese. Repeat until everything is used and finally sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

Bake for 15 minutes with a aluminum foil on top remove and bake for 5 minutes more.

Let cool down for at 5 minutes and serve on bowls or plates.

Tips and Storage

Note that if you use frozen pasta, please add 15 minutes more baking time to the casserole and remove the aluminum foil after 20 minutes. Also results on the amount of layers may vary depending on the size of your raviolis.

Leftovers of the Ravioli Lasagna can be used for around 5 days in the fridge.

For freezing, use a freezer friendly container, put a lid on top. Don’t forget to cool down completely. Store in the freezer for around 3 moths. Always thaw completely before reheating.
