Using ravioli to make lasagna takes care of both the pasta and the ricotta cheese. Plus, the awesome part of this ravioli lasagna recipe is there is no need to cook the pasta a head of time. I’m telling ya, this is a nice cheater way to make lasagna.
This lasagna is also a little sneaky by adding some carrot into the lasagna. I love the addition of flavor that it adds and the kids will eat the hidden veggie.
