Having lasagna for dinner just got a whole lot easier! This make ahead ravioli lasagna with spinach uses a simple hack that will make all of your dreams come true. The secret? Use frozen ravioli! Mind BLOWN!
Lasagna is usually a super time-consuming meal to make and involves lots of steps, dirty bowls, and fancy layers. It can be worth it, but when I’m super tired…I’d rather make something quick and easy.
So, I’m introducing you to one of my easiest recipes of all time… make ahead ravioli lasagna with spinach and ricotta!
You guys, this is soooooo delicious. For reals. Even my picky kids loved it.
It has all the same flavors and textures as regular lasagna, just way easier to prepare. And by using frozen ravioli and just layering that with cheese, sauce and spinach, it easily cuts my dinner prep time in half.
Plus the addition of the spinach adds a delicious earthy flavor and makes you not feel quite so guilty when you have your second, or third (who am I to judge), helping. ahem.
Like traditional lasagna, this version freezes and reheats beautifully. I highly recommend making a few of these ravioli lasagnas and stocking up for the future when the craving hits.
I just know your family will LOVE this make ahead ravioli lasagna with spinach recipe as much as mine does!
