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

1. Prepare Oven

Preheat your oven to 450°F and make sure the oven rack is positioned 8 inches from the heat source.

2. Cook Sausage

In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, stirring to crumble, until the sausage is browned and no longer pink. This should take about 6 to 7 minutes.

3. Add Marinara Sauce

Pour in the marinara sauce and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate all the flavorful bits. Allow it to cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Add 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, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

5. Assemble Lasagna

Remove the skillet from the 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 set-aside ravioli mixture, and then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.

6. Bake Lasagna

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

7. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle the lasagna with the torn fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
