It’s layered with flavorful Italian sausage, cheesy ravioli, and gooey mozzarella, all cooked in one skillet for easy cleanup. Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. bulk mild or hot Italian sausage
- 1 (24-oz.) jar marinara sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 (20-oz.) package refrigerated four-cheese ravioli (such as Buitoni)
- 8 oz. whole milk mozzarella, shredded and divided (about 2 cups)
- 2 Tbsp. torn fresh basil leaves
Directions
Prepare the Oven
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F with the oven rack positioned 8 inches from the heat source.
Cook the Sausage
- Heat the Oil: In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Sausage: Add the Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, stirring to crumble the sausage, until it is browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Add Marinara Sauce
- Combine with Sauce: Add the marinara sauce and 1 cup of water to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add Ravioli
- Cook the Ravioli: Add the refrigerated four-cheese ravioli to the skillet. Cook, stirring often and gently, until the sauce thickens and the ravioli is just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Assemble the Lasagna
- Layer the Ingredients: Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer half of the ravioli mixture to a bowl. In the skillet, layer half of the shredded mozzarella over the remaining ravioli mixture. Top with the reserved ravioli mixture, and then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.
Bake the Lasagna
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Finish and Serve
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle the dish with torn fresh basil leaves before serving.
