1 1/4
lb bulk Italian pork sausage
1
jar (26 to 28 oz) tomato pasta sauce (any variety)
1
package (25 to 27 1/2 oz) frozen cheese-filled ravioli
2 1/2
cups shredded mozzarella cheese (10 oz)
2
tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink; drain.
  • 2 In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce. Arrange single layer of frozen ravioli over sauce; evenly pour 1 cup pasta sauce over ravioli. Sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 cups sausage and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers with remaining ravioli, pasta sauce and sausage.
  • 3 Cover tightly with foil; refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  • 4 Heat oven to 350°F. Bake covered 45 minutes. Remove foil; sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese. Bake about 15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and lasagna is hot in center. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Expert Tips

Let pasta casseroles stand a short time after baking for easier cutting and serving.

Serve with thick slices of garlic bread and a tossed green salad. If you still have room for dessert, offer scoops of raspberry and chocolate sorbet.

Great recipe for a crowd. I used 1/2 hamburger meat and 1/2 of the sausage instead of using all sausage and it came out a little "milder" in flavor, but really good. Entire family loved it - easy to make and I will definately be making again!

Tried this yesterday and my family loved it. This is a keeper! I followed the recipe the first time, but did not wait the 8 hours, only about 3. You could substitute ground beef or 1/2 beef, 1/2 sausage, but the mild Italian sausage gave it good flavor. I used the square ravioli and the package exactly fit into 2 layers in my 9X13 dish. You could even substitute veggies, or add a layer of spinach to pump up the veggie content.

Easy recipe, I added 2 small crushed garlic cloves and 1/2 of a minced green pepper I didn.t have enough tomato sauce used crushed tomato instead. My husband said it tasted like pizza without a crust. I thought it taste like an expensive meal from an italian restaurant!
