Ravioli Lasagna Bake

This dish proves that weeknight dinners can feel just as comforting and celebratory as Sunday suppers. Think of all the gooey, cheesy layers of classic lasagna—without the hassle of boiling noodles or spending hours in the kitchen. The secret? Store-bought ravioli, which doubles as pasta and creamy filling. The result is a bubbling, golden bake that tastes slow-simmered but comes together in minutes.
