Ravioli Lasagne

This is a quick and delicious dish, a bit of a change from the usual lasagne.

Any kind of filled pasta can be used, I used what I had in the freezer so it ended up being 1/2 beef ravioli and 1/2 sausage agnolotti, it is the same for the pasta & cheese sauces, use whatever you have at hand. Below are photos of what I used.

Layer it similar as you would traditional lasagne. I started with cheese sauce on the bottom, followed by 1/2 of the frozen ravioli and 1/2 mince mixture, then pasta sauce, cheese sauce etc. Top off with a generous sprinkling of grated mozzarella for a delicious gooey, melty, cheesy finish.

1 onion, finely chopped

2 tsp olive oil

500 g beef mince

400 g tin chopped tomatoes

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp dried thyme

1.  Pre-heat oven to 180°C.  Grease a 2.8 Litre baking dish with some oil.

2.  Heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Add mince and cook, stirring while breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes or until mince is browned. Drain. Add tomatoes and herbs, season with salt and pepper.

3.  Spread a 2/3 cup cheese sauce over bottom of dish, top with 1/2 ravioli and 1/2 mince mixture, followed by 2/3 cup pasta sauce, repeat layers. Top with remaining pasta sauce and cheese sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella.
