Last Minute Lasagna

Submitted by ANN N.

"I got this recipe from "Dinner and a Movie". It's not the same as traditional lasagna, but not bad for a quick midweek meal. I made just a couple changes, my family enjoyed it. Serve with a green salad and crusty bread and you're good to go! I used more sauce than the original recipe (I used a 4 lb. jar), but that is a personal preference. I also used frozen ravioli and adjusted the cooking time because my local store was out of the refrigerated."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce
• 2 (20 ounce) bags refrigerated large cheese ravioli
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained with excess water squeezed out
• 1 (8 ounce) bag shredded mozzarella cheese (I used more)
• 1 (6 ounce) can sliced olives
• 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese

directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Spoon a thin layer of sauce over bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
3. Cover with a single layer of ravioli.
4. Top with half the spinach, half the olives, half the mozzarella, and a third of the sauce.
5. Repeat with another layer of ravioli, the remaining spinach, olives and mozzarella, and half the remaining sauce.
6. Top with a final layer of ravioli and the remaining sauce (not all of the ravioli may be needed).
7. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. I also topped it with more mozzarella.
8. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. (I baked 45 minutes to compensate for the frozen ravioli).
9. Uncover and bake until bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes longer.

Delicious and easy - the perfect meal for a Monday night! We skipped the spinach and olives and used twice the pasta sauce and mozzarella! Everyone loved it! Thanks for sharing this keeper!
