Here is another magazine clip I had that we'll be keeping in our line up..really fast and easy!
Grab the following ingredients........
½ lb. Italian ground sausage
1 (24 oz jar) tomato and basil pasta sauce
1 (6 oz) package fresh baby spinach, thoroughly washed
½ cup refrigerated pesto sauce
1 (25 oz) package frozen cheese-filled ravioli (Do Not Thaw)
1 cup shredded Italian six-cheese blend
Preheat oven to 375 F. Cook sausage until it crumbles well and is no longer pink. Drain well. Stir pasta sauce into sausage.
Chop spinach and toss with pesto in a bowl.
Spoon one third of sausage mixture (about ½ cup) into a lightly greased 11x 7 inch casserole dish. Top with half of spinach mix. Arrange half of ravioli over in single layer over spinach mixture.
Add the spinach pesto layer.....
Repeat layers once. Top with remaining sausage mixture.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, and bake 5 minutes more or until hot and bubbly.
Very cheesy.........

Yum! This looks great! I love the idea of using ravioli as a lasagna base...I'll have to try this out sometime.
ReplyDeleteYour posting frequency these days is impressive!
Sounds like a wonderful new way to enjoy lasagna. There are so many wonderful flavors in this recipe, not to mention how quick it would be to put together. Looks like an awesome dinner:D
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that looks totally delicious! I wonder if I could get Todd to eat this!
ReplyDeleteWC - I had my doubts when I saw the recipe but thought, what the hell...it has ingredients I like.
ReplyDeleteI had lots of posts written up when I was waiting on the door people (repairmen).
Kim - It was a definite hit. The pesto was quite good and I think I may make my own next time.
Marie - It was great, let me know if you try it. I am going to try your chciken recipe next week.
The ravioli as a base for the lasagne is a really interesting choice... When I first saw it i was a little skeptical, but after a few seconds it made sense to me. I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteOh, this does sound wonderful. I think the spinach and pesto sounds like a great addition to the normal cheese and sauce of lasagne.
ReplyDeleteVery creative!
ReplyDeleteFearless Kitchen - thanks for visiting! Yeah...I was skeptical also when I saw the recipe and layers of ravioli but it came out quite well.
ReplyDeleteJanel, I will make my own pesto next time but it blended quite well with the spinach. Nice combo.
Laura - It was almost "fast food"...but tasty all the same.
A ravioli lasagna sounds excellent, love the addition of sausage too!
ReplyDeleteThank you 5 Star Foodie. It was a good combo. It's been tough visiting through Foodbuzz lately...gotta check out your site!
ReplyDeletelooks rich and delicious! love sausage in any kind of lasagna...
ReplyDeleteI have made this very tasty dish twice and everyone loves it. I even tried it with Italian turkey sausage instead of pork. Great taste either way.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such a great comfort dish!!! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica Jane, It wasn't too rich...just right.
ReplyDeleteMishawn - thanks for visiting! And also for the suggestion to use turkey sausage. I will sure make this one again.
Creampuff - True comfort food. I'm ready for Spring weather but this is a nice dish for the rainy days we've been having.
What a particularly festive dish to share with Presto Pasta Night's big 4th birthday party. Thanks for playing and I do hope your friends will send in their own pasta dishes too... the more the merrier.
