Sausage Alfredo Ravioli Lasagna

Sometimes, you stumble across a recipe that feels like it was made for busy weeknights, yet it tastes like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen. That’s exactly how I feel about Sausage Alfredo Ravioli Lasagna. It’s a creamy, cheesy, and absolutely amazing dinner idea that combines the best parts of lasagna and Alfredo pasta in one easy-to-make dish.

This recipe has quickly become a family favorite in my house. Between juggling work, errands, and everything in between, it’s the kind of dish that feels fancy enough for guests but simple enough for a midweek meal. Let me walk you through how to make it, step by step, so you can enjoy this comforting meal too.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make this Sausage Alfredo Ravioli Lasagna, here’s exactly what you’ll need:

• 1 pound Italian sausage (chicken or turkey) – This adds a savory kick that pairs perfectly with the creamy Alfredo sauce.
• 1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce – Use your favorite store-bought brand or make it homemade if you’re feeling ambitious.
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained – These add a little acidity and balance to the dish.
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – A hint of garlic always makes things better.
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning – For that classic herb flavor.
• 1 package (20 ounces) cheese ravioli – Frozen or fresh, whichever you have on hand.
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese – Because lasagna isn’t lasagna without melty cheese.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese – Adds a salty, nutty finish.
• Fresh parsley (optional) – For a pop of color and freshness.

How to Make Sausage Alfredo Ravioli Lasagna

1. Prep Your Ingredients

First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up into crumbles as it cooks, and drain any excess grease once it’s browned.

Add the Alfredo sauce, drained diced tomatoes, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the cooked sausage. Stir everything together and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. The smell alone will have you ready to dig in!

2. Layer It Up

Now for the fun part: assembling your lasagna. Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread a thin layer of the sausage Alfredo mixture on the bottom. This helps prevent the ravioli from sticking.

Next, arrange a layer of cheese ravioli over the sauce. Top the ravioli with more of the sausage Alfredo mixture, then sprinkle on a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers until you’ve used up all the ingredients, finishing with a final layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

3. Bake to Perfection

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Once it’s out of the oven, let the lasagna cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Trust me, the wait is worth it—this gives the layers a chance to set and makes serving much easier.

Why This Recipe Works

What I love most about this Sausage Alfredo Ravioli Lasagna is how simple it is to put together. Unlike traditional lasagna, there’s no need to boil noodles or spend time layering ricotta. The ravioli does all the heavy lifting, providing both the pasta and the cheese filling in one convenient package.

Using a jar of Alfredo sauce is another time-saver. While homemade Alfredo is always amazing, having a jar on hand means you can whip up this dish in no time. And don’t even get me started on the combination of sausage and mozzarella—it’s like a match made in heaven.

Tips for Success

• Use good-quality ravioli: Since the ravioli is the star of the show, go for a brand you trust. Fresh or frozen both work well.
• Customize the protein: If you’re not a fan of sausage, ground chicken or turkey makes a great substitute.
• Make it ahead: Assemble the lasagna a day in advance and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake, just pop it in the oven.
• Add veggies: Feel free to toss in some spinach or mushrooms for an extra nutritional boost.

Serving Suggestions

This dish is rich and hearty, so I like to keep the sides simple. A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette pairs perfectly, as does a slice of garlic bread to soak up all that creamy sauce. And if you’re feeling fancy, a glass of white wine doesn’t hurt either.

Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, they reheat beautifully. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop a portion in the microwave or warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
