Busy weeknights have met their match. This Lazy Ravioli Lasagna comes together in under 30 minutes with just a handful of ingredients. It’s simple, hearty and delicious.

Does this sound familiar: It’s a weeknight, everyone is hungry, and the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen. Chances are this night could go in the direction of super expensive takeout. But it doesn’t have to!

Enter Ravioli Lasagna, the ultimate time-saving dinner for quick comfort food. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just looking to make something simple, this dish has you covered.

Easy Weeknight Dinners

This dish is the perfect blend of satisfaction and simplicity—without all the fuss. I like to call it a “lazy meal,” but trust me, that’s not a bad thing. Time is precious, and simplifying mealtimes is the ultimate goal.

Home cooked meals need to be easy, or they may not happen. I snagged this recipe from my Fraîche Table meal plan, which is home to thousands (literally) of healthy weekday breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.

As a busy mom, I’m already wearing a million hats. But this year, I’m flipping the script.

Instead of adding more to my plate, I’m using tools and systems to help take things off of it.

Fraîche Table makes meal planning effortless with customizable menus, automated grocery lists, and step-by-step instructions that simplify cooking like never before.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 mild Italian sausages casing removed & crumbled
• 1 650 mL jar of marinara sauce
• 4 cups spinach roughly chopped
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 500 grams cheese ravioli
• 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
• 2 tablespoons basil roughly chopped, to serve

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.

2. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the sausage and brown, around 6 minutes. Pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the lasagna by adding 1/3 of the sauce to the base of a 9×13” baking dish. Add half the ravioli, then gently spread the ricotta in an even layer on top. Sprinkle on 1/4 of the mozzarella.

4. Top with another 1/3 of the sauce, then the rest of the ravioli. Top with the remaining sauce then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan.

5. Bake for around 20 minutes until the cheese is melted. Broil until golden brown if desired. Sprinkle with basil before serving.
