Points to Consider

  • You will need a 9x13x4 foil pan treated with non-stick spray. A smaller pan will not fit all of the ingredients.
  • The ravioli is obviously replacing traditional lasagna noodles.
  • This will be one of the, if not the greatest lasagna you will ever eat. Trust me.
  • If cooking this for others, they will be stunned by the finished product, both visually and by way of taste.
  • Serve with garlic bread and a salad.
  • This recipe was created by the charming and handsome Sean Cavanaugh.
