This was much better than I expected it to be, and so simple using the frozen ravioli. I did a layer of spinach ravioli, then mini cheese in the middle layer, then another of spinach. Used sausage instead of beef. Was out of mozz at the time and the last of my cottage cheese had gone bad (I always add that to my lasagna)so I just used extra parm throughout. Will have to make this for my brother-in-law to try (he's Italian) and see what he thinks, frozen ravioli-sauce from a jar, oh no!

I made this for my family based on a recipe by the National Cattlemans Association, it was basically the same recipe, except it says to add 1 1/2 cups of water to the sauce. This may explain others dry ravioli. I honestly can't comment on the flavor, as I don't eat cheese, so my family's opinion has to suffice. They all loved it, including two friends who were visiting, all had 2nd helpings. I did rinse the ravioli just in case, for moisture and thawing. I substituted minced garlic for the onion. As others mentioned, this is really not a Lasagna, rather a Baked Ravioli, but the family loved it nonetheless. I will make it again.

This is good. I think adding some water or broth is a good idea. I also used ground sausage for this and added some italian seasoning. I used half the amount of ravioli's and put it in an 8x8 pan and it worked great. I also topped it off with some parmeasan cheese. I will surely make this again.

I've been making this recipe for a while now. My husband and I kind of threw this recipe together one night and have used it every now and then since, when I saw it here I had to rate it. This is an excellent quick evening dinner. We don't thaw the raviolis, and we definitely don't use 3 pounds of it either. Just enough to fill up a 9x13 dish and typically 1/2 a jar of sauce or so is enough. Maybe it's the quality of the ravioli you buy that will make the recipe dry or not, but we've never had a problem.

Wow! So easy and so tasty!! I assembled mine the night before (while the ravioli were still frozen!) and it took a total of about 5 minutes. We made a meatless version and doubled the sauce as suggested by other reviewers. Turned out perfect! My boyfriend requested that this become a "staple" among our meals. Thanks for this simple, delicious recipe... I'll be passing it on to all my friends!

I have a hard time rating this recipe 1 star. I've been trying recipes on this site for some 6 years and this is the first recipe I rate as "Terrible". I followed the instructions to a T - I guess I should have read the review first. There was not sufficient liquid and it turned out to be a dried-out waste of good ingredients. Very disappointing!

Great idea - I had a bag of frozen ravioli in the freezer and was looking for a quick meal! I used a can of low fat alfredo sauce instead of the spaghetti sauce because my husband likes it more.

Definatley NOT lasagna. This was fairly easy to prepare, but not really very good. I added 1 1/2 cups beef stock to the sauce to help with the moisture, but it was still VERY dry. I couldn't even tell there was mozz cheese in the dish when prepared.

This is good for a quick meal but I guess the quality of the frozen ravioli will make or break the dish. Definitely a mid week after work quick dinner.

i make this recipe all the time! Sometimes i even add cottage cheese and spinach/swiss charde in the middle, then it tastes like real lasagna, and you can even freeze it and cook later!

First off, this is a wonderful dish but implying that it's Lasagna is misleading. I wish it was called something else so some people wouldn't be disappointed when making it!!! ************************************** Important Note: Instead of adding another jar of sauce like some of the other readers suggested, I just added 1/2 jar of water to the sauce and then simmered it for 20 minutes. The reason that this recipe probably didn't have enough sauce when it finished baking was more than likely due to the fact that raviolis soak up water while they're cooking. The addition of the extra water gives the raviolis the water to plump up, instead of using the water from the sauce. This keeps the consistancy of the sauce like it should be, instead of drying out. Another bonus is that you don't have to use an extra jar of sauce, which only increases the expense of this dish unnecessarily. This dish came out GREAT.. hope this tip helps :)

This was pretty good. The kids loved it and it's hard to make something they all like. HOWEVER, don't be a dork like me and 'thaw' the ravioli. Boil them in water if they are frozen or put them in the recipe still frozen. Unfortunately, I 'thawed' them in the refridgerator and they stuck together in a clump. I boiled the clump and it all worked out okay in the end but I think the results would have been somewhat better if I had just boiled them while still frozen before adding them to the recipe. I should have known better (hanging head in shame).

What a great shortcut! I used Sausage instead of hamburger, and didn't thaw the ravioli's we had (missed that when reading). I used 2 jars of sauce, otherwise it would've been too dry (for us). The family LOVED this!

I used beef ravioli and a vegetarian sauce. I did not have enough sauce so it was quite dry. I will not make it again.

Easy and fantastic is all I can say! This is a regular at our house. Taste like lasagna without all the work, and I usually make two and freeze the second one for later.
