I’m giving this five stars because it came out exactly as described. If you like very rich dishes and things with a lot of cheese and cheese sauce you will absolutely love this. It is just a tiny bit too rich for me. The next time I make it I will probably add just a tiny bit less of the cheese mixture and probably a little bit more red sauce. Thank you for yet another fantastic recipe! ]]>

Made this for the first time, and followed the recipe except used meat sauce (cooked ground beef plus spaghetti sauce). I could only find fresh cheese and spinach ravioli, so I cooked it according to the package directions, and used it in place of the frozen ravioli. This dish was a big hit. Really cheesy and delicious. This one’s a keeper!
]]>I have to admit, I always add cooked ground beef and make a meaty pasta sauce for any pasta recipe.
When I came across this version of lasagna, I immediately knew this would be my “forever” recipe—ravioli is my favorite pasta, and it’s so much easier to cut and serve lasagna this way—and that it’s versatile enough to occasionally do things such as add in sliced black olives, use provolone cheese either in addition to, or in place of, mozzarella, just depending on what I feel like doing.
No matter what, though, I use this entire recipe “as is,” just adding things, never taking anything away. I’ve made this for several years now, and have never had any complaints, only a lot of “MMMMMM!!!, this is GOOD!! May I have more, please?” ]]>
This is my new comfort meal. I love how easy it is! I also use the cream cheese/sour cream/seasonings in ALL recipes that call for ricotta. It is so much cheesier.
Thank you for this recipe! It’s one I recommended over and over. ]]>
I’ve loved everything I’ve made on your site so far, but this one was the first one I can’t say that to. I couldn’t taste anything other than the overpowering taste of garlic. I even double checked to make sure I used the right measurements. I have so much left overs now, and will definitely try to dilute the flavor tonight with some more cream cheese and pasta sauce. Other than that, the meal with simple and easy to make and if I can fix it tonight I’ll try it again. ]]>
Fantastic recipe. I couldnt find beef ravioli so I opted for Rana brand chicken and garlic ravioli which I found in the refrigerated deli area at Walmart. I bought 2 bags and used my scale to weigh out 25 oz. Sauce used was Ragu flavored with meat. I cooked it the same amount of time as if I had used frozen ravioli.
This recipe is genius and there’s no way to tell that it was made with ravioli. I will be making this often. Thankyou!
]]>One of my family’s favorite recipes now!! The sauce is amazing! I will probably never go back to ricotta. It’s very quick and easy to make compared to lasagna. It’s a real keeper for me! ]]>
Used crab stuffed ravioli this time along with mushrooms and baby spinach between the layers. This recipe is a big hit! Yum. ]]>
