Sprinkle on some shredded mozzarella.

Repeat the layers with more ravioli.

Lazy Lasagna Freezer Meal Instructions

How to Freeze Lazy Lasagna with Ravioli

This recipe works great as a freezer meal and is perfect to make ahead for busy nights.

Assemble the lasagna as directed, but do not bake it first. Wrap the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap, then cover with foil to help prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to 3 months for the best quality.

How to Cook From Frozen

When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and keep the foil on top. Bake at 375°F for 60 to 75 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes so the cheese can melt and turn golden on top.

How to Cook After Thawing

You can also thaw the lasagna overnight in the refrigerator. Once thawed, bake at 400°F for 45 to 50 minutes, until hot and bubbly in the center.

Freezer Tip

Adding a little extra pasta sauce before freezing can help keep the ravioli soft and the finished dish extra cheesy after baking.
