Do you have a busy night, but still want to serve a delicious dinner to your family? This Easy Skillet Lasagna Ravioli is ready to serve in less than 30 minutes. Three kinds of cheese and ready made ravioli make this such an easy dish to prepare.
With the return of warmer weather, comes all the fun of sports practices and games. Our youngest son plays baseball and soccer in the spring, so right now the practices are overlapping. There are days he goes from baseball right to soccer, so dinner is usually just whatever can be found in the fridge. Or we make a quick stop at a fast food restaurant for something fast and easy.
Since I really do not want to spend that much money on fast food, I have been trying to think of easy meals that can either be ready in a short time, or ones I can make ahead of time and reheat when we get a chance to sit down to eat.
The other day my husband was talking to some friends about the blog and how it was pretty much sugar coated sugar all the time around here. Yeah, he’s pretty much got that right. I mean have you seen these brownies or this cake? Sugar goodness is just how my brain works most days.
Of course when I’m not thinking about sugary treats, my mind wanders to cheesy pasta. It’s my second favorite thing to make. A while ago I made this BLT Alfredo Skillet Ravioli, and now ravioli has become my go to pasta when I want to make a quick dinner.
This dinner does use two pans. You will need one pan to boil water and cook the ravioli, and one pan to cook the sausage and make sauce in. Start the ravioli first, then while those are cooking you can start on the rest.
I like to chop my veggies the night before and keep them in bags or containers in the refrigerator. You can also buy frozen chopped veggies to keep on hand too. It speeds up the dinner prep when I have hungry monsters that do not want to wait very long for hot food.
Cook the meat and then sauté the veggies with it. After the meat is cooked through, you stir in the sauce, cheese, and cooked ravioli. Easy, peasy and ready in no time at all.
Gotta love a delicious dinner with lots of cheesy goodness and pasta in no time at all!!!

This easy skillet lasagna can be made in under 30 minutes. It is a delicious dinner for when you have a busy night of errands.
Ingredients
- 1 - 25 ounce package frozen ravioli
- 8 ounces Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced green pepper
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 - 24 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- parsley or oregano flakes
Instructions
- Cook the ravioli according to the package directions.*
- While the ravioli is cooking, place the sausage in a skillet and start browning it. Add the onions and peppers and cook until the meat is done.
- Stir in the garlic, sauce, 1/2 cup ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese and stir until melted.

Notes
*If your ravioli finishes cooking before you have the sauce ready, drain the water and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil to keep them from sticking together.

April 24, 2015 at 7:39 AMJocelyn – Boy, do I love ravioli! Usually, I don’t order it out at restaurants because I feel like they skip on the ravioli. The more the better in my opinion. 🙂 This is the perfect busy night meal. It would definitely be my favorite new thing to whip up when I’m running around doing errands and working out. Thank you!
Jocelyn says

April 24, 2015 at 6:30 PMThis is such a genius idea to make lasagna on a weeknight without actually making a traditional lasagna. I’ll be making this for sure!

April 24, 2015 at 7:17 PMI love your recipes and would love to print a copy but am unable to do so…it just will not print for me……any suggestions?
Jocelyn says
April 24, 2015 at 9:16 PMHhhhhmmmm…I’m not sure what to tell you. I just opened a recipe and hit the print button, and it printed fine for me. Have you tried opening my blog with another browser and tried printing one from there?
Doll V says
April 24, 2015 at 10:14 PMThanks…will try again!
Carrie @Frugal Foodie Mama says
April 25, 2015 at 8:31 AMSo, I totally love this! We love lasagna in this house, but this mama doesn’t like all work (ahem- layering). This is a perfect solution! 🙂
Jocelyn says
April 29, 2015 at 10:27 PMI hear ya on all the layering! This was so much easier to do!
Rachel Cooks says
April 25, 2015 at 10:56 AMI love frozen ravioli for quick and easy meals like this — and this looks phenomenal! Chopping the veggies the day before is a great tip!
Thanks for the link love too 🙂
Jocelyn says
April 29, 2015 at 10:27 PMI’m always looking for ways to streamline dinner…so I can get to making dessert faster 😉 LOL!
Wendy says
April 25, 2015 at 3:56 PMAnything with 3 cheeses gets my vote of approval! 😉 We all need the digital version of a rolodex (I am dating myself) filled with recipes like this for quickie dinners. Having a few convenience items on hand (like the frozen ravioli) makes it possible to have both delicious and quick.
Jocelyn says
April 29, 2015 at 10:33 PM3 cheese and easy meals are definitely the way to go!

August 16, 2018 at 7:02 PMHi. The Italian sausage I know of comes in LINKS that I cook ground up. Is this what you use? Thank you!
Jocelyn says
August 16, 2018 at 8:22 PMNo, I did not use links. You can purchase ground sausage in the meat department of most grocery store. Jimmy Dean has a premium pork Italian sausage roll that I usually purchase. Walmart also has a Great Value brand sausage roll.
