There are a number of “add-ins” you can put in this. I have listed merely a few, but let your imagination run wild! It’s also a good dish to use leftover meat in.

| Vegetarian Verson |
I stuck pretty much to the standard frozen cheese ravioli, but I did notice my store had some really gourmet varieties–lobster, asiago & herb and a few others. Good ol’ meat filled raviolis would do too. Just use GOBS of extra cheese if using meat ravioli.

| Vegetarian Version of Ravioli Lasagna |
I made this a vegetarian ravioli lasagna. I used up some baby spinach that I’d just bought.
Ravioli Lasagna
Ingredients
- 30 oz frozen cheese ravioli*

Optional Add-Ins

Repeat 2 more times, ending with a topping of ravioli. Spread remaining sauce on top of the ravioli and sprinkle with the parmesan or romano cheese.

Tawny says
Hi there! I tried this tonight and after an hour, the dish was still only about 76 degrees in the center! What did I do wrong? I used frozen ravioli, only did 2.5 layers (due to dish size) and added cooked/hot pork sausage. Advice? Excited to try this when I don’t flub it up 😛
Judith Hanneman says
The only thing I can think of Tawny is maybe your ravioli was thicker and more “compact” than the one I used. Next time maybe use the fresh variety or nuke the frozen so they’re not solidly frozen. The dish I cooked this in is stoneware that generally requires *more* time to cook (I haven’t got a clue why, but it does and lots of others that use it say the same thing), so my time was based on that.
