I took one bite of this and pretty much didn’t put my fork down until I was perfectly stuffed!
This meal is much faster to put together than a lasagna because you’re putting the fresh or frozen ravioli into the baking dish without cooking it. You add a little water, plus the water from the marinara sauce, and the ravioli is cooked to perfection. You will ‘layer’ the sauce, raviolis, spinach and cheese…so it’s like a lasagna. But it doesn’t feel near as cumbersome in putting it together!
It’s the fastest made lasagna in the Italian west 😉
Hope you end up perfectly stuffed like I did!

So do you bake for 25 minutes or for 45? The top part says that the cooking time is 45 minutes but the instructions say 25.
I kept forgiving to serve it with salad so ya know it’s good!
