No-Boil Ravioli Lasagna

No-Boil Ravioli Lasagna recipe - frozen ravioli, spaghetti sauce, sausage/hamburger, ricotta, mozzarella - layer everything in a pan and bake. No need to precook the ravioli. Super quick casserole! Ready in 30 minutes. Make a great freezer meal! Assemble and freeze for later. Serve with a salad and crusty garlic bread for a quick weeknight meal.

This ravioli bake is SO easy and SO delicious.  The thing I love best about this recipe is that you don't have to boil the ravioli before you bake them.  Just throw the frozen ravioli in the casserole dish and pop it in the oven.  It couldn't be easier!

Make ahead tip - I cooked my sausage the night before and put it in a ziplock back in the refrigerator.  I just pulled the cooked meat out of the fridge when I got home.  It took longer for the oven to preheat than it did to assemble the casserole.  We served this with a salad and garlic bread.  It was one of the best things we ate all week.  This is great for a crowd and also reheats well.  Put this on your menu right away!
