Vegetable Ravioli Lasagna
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13x9” baking dish with non-stick spray, set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté for five minutes, until onion softens. Add garlic, sauté for one minute. Then add summer squash, sliced mushrooms and spinach. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach is fully wilted and the summer squash has softened, about ten minutes.
  3. Drain any excess liquid from the pan (sometimes summer squash will have a lot of liquid that it releases when cooking) and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Add 1 cup of RAGÚ Simply™ Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce to the skillet and remove from heat. Set aside.
  5. Spoon 1 cup of the pasta sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread evenly across the bottom.
  6. Top with a single layer of frozen ravioli, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, and 1/3 of the vegetable mixture from the skillet. Repeat the layers two times, ending with a final layer of pasta sauce on top.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top layer. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil cover and bake for ten minutes more. If you like your cheese to be browned a little, you can also put the Ravioli Lasagna under the broiler for two to three minutes at the end to crisp up the cheese.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with minced parsley to garnish, if desired. Let rest for ten minutes before cutting and serving.
Recipe Notes

Tips:

This recipe can be made ahead of time and stored covered in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it.

In step 3, be sure to drain all excess liquid from the sautéed vegetables as summer squash can release liquid when cooked.

Be sure to let the lasagna set for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the lasagna to cool and the layers to set nicely, so you have an easier time serving.

Instructions
  1. Heat oil in large pot on medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook 8-10 minutes or until browned, breaking up large chunks with wooden spoon. Drain; return meat to pot. Add onions; cook 3-4 minutes or until softened. Stir in sauce and water; bring to a simmer. Remove pot from heat.
  2. Combine ricotta, Parmesan, garlic, eggs and basil in medium bowl.
  3. Spread 1 cup sauce mixture in a 6 or 7-quart slow cooker insert sprayed with nonstick spray. Top with 4 noodles, breaking noodles and overlapping to fit. Top with dollops of 1 cup ricotta mixture, 2 cups sauce mixture and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Repeat layers 3 times.
  4. Cook on LOW 4 hours or until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed. Remove insert from slow cooker. Let stand 10-15 minutes before cutting to serve.
Recipe Notes

Tips:

Substitute ground beef or turkey for the sausage. Or, for a meatless version, substitute 2 pounds sliced white or cremini mushrooms.

No need to turn on the oven to make this hearty lasagna. The extra liquid in the recipe allows the noodles to cook perfectly while the flavors blend.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice eggplant longways into 1/4-inch slices. Sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to drain excess water. Pile eggplant slices in an 8x8 oven-safe baking dish. Cover with foil and cook 10 minutes until pliable, but not all the way cooked through. Remove and pat dry.
  2. Meanwhile, brown ground beef over medium heat, if using. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions begin to go translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes, until excess liquid from mushrooms has evaporated. If using ground beef, add the onion and mushroom mixture to the ground beef. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Stir Ricotta and egg together until fully combined. Coat one side of each eggplant slice with Ricotta. Add onion and mushroom mixture, then roll up.
  5. Wipe out your 8x8 baking dish, then coat the bottom with sauce. Add eggplant rolls, then coat with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with shredded Mozzarella. Bake covered for 50 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 10 minutes more.
