Ravioli Lasagna

I am always on the look out for quick and easy recipes for weeknight dinners. I had seen a couple recipes that were similar to this one... so one night with some oh hand ingredients... boyfriend and I decided to give our own version a try. This dish is simple, thrown together quickly... and of course DELICIOUS!!

Ingredients:
- Ravioli (we used refrigerated kind)
- Spaghetti Sauce (we used a jar from the store)
- Shredded Mozzarella
- Left overs (we used onion, tomato and fresh mozz)
- Non-Stick Spray
*Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees

       *Store bought refrigerated ravioli that we didn't even thaw them out first!!











*Left over fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and onion that we chopped up and put in a small dish. We left our onions raw because we liked that it gave just a little crunch to the dish. If you don't want your onions still a bit crunchy ... saute them in a little butter and/or olive oil before tossing them in your lasagna.







 * Now, let the fun begin!! Spray a glass baking dish (we used a 7x11 since there were only two of us. But you can use 9x13, an 8x8, a pie plate... whatever you have on hand) Start layering until you run out of ingredients. Sauce, ravioli, mozz-tom-onion, spices (we used italian seasoning and red pepper flakes) and repeat!!
*Once we reached the top we covered the whole thing in shredded mozzarella cheese. We are cheese people but you can just cover in sauce if you want to. Put it in the oven for 45min to an hour. Some people cover with foil and pull the foil off the last 10 mins. We did not cover ours because we like our cheese totally melted and a little crispy brown on top too!
                            *Let stand for about 5 mins!! Enjoy!

I find lasagna very versatile and easy to do. Frankly you can make use of whatever you have in your kitchen cabinet and you'll likely came up with your very own lasagna. Raviolli, bow tie pasat, butternut squach, spinach, mushrooms, beef, turkey, chard, sausage, etc.
