I had a very busy day today at work and then two evening study calls I needed to attend so needed an easy, filling meal. As I live by myself, I like to make something that will feed me for at least three or four meals, but comes together quickly.
I had some ravioli and tomato sauce in the cupboard as well as some italian sausage I had made and put in the freezer over the winter so Ravioli Lasanga it was.
You can do this with or without the meat but it was blustery day today and I felt the need for a bit more substance.
Ingredients:
500g/16oz. Italian Sausage - This is the recipe from spendwithpennies.com blog I used to make mine
750g/24oz. Jar of Spaghetti Sauce (I used Miracoli Basilico)
1/2 c red wine or water with splash of red wine vinegar
500g/16oz. Packaged Ravioli (fresh, dried or Frozen)
250g/16oz. shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Handful of Shreded Parmesan
Brown the sausage in a skillet, when cooked, add the jarred sauce. Put the red wine in the jar and put the lid back on and shake well and then add to the sauce. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat.
Brush olive oil in a casserole and spread a spoonful of sauce on the bottom. Layer raviolis over it and then top with one third of the mozzarella and one third of the parmesan. Cover with sauce and repeat the layers. Top with last third of mozzarella and parmesan.
Cover with foil and put in a 180c/350f degree oven and cook for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 10 to brown the cheese and let extra liquid steam off. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
I would like to say that I took pictures of the gorgeous result, but alas, I can't. So here is the evidence that it was really good and worth the 15 minutes it took to put it together.
