Ravioli Lasagna Bolognese

By davidv

Don't have the Ninja 4-in-1 Cooking System? Cook the ravioli in boiling water on the stovetop. Brown the beef with the onion, garlic, and black pepper in a separate pan. Combine the ravioli, beef mixture, and sauce in a baker and bake, covered, at 350°F for 30 minutes. Add the cheeses during the last 10 minutes.

Tip: This one-pot lasagna recipe couldn't be easier to make ahead of time. Just allow the finished dish to cool to room temperature and store it in the fridge overnight. If you want to freeze the lasagna for a longer period of time, separate it into chunks before storing.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1-3/4 cups water
• 1 (24-oz) jar marinara sauce
• 2 lbs frozen cheese ravioli
• 1-1/4 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 2/3 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Set your Ninja 4-in-1 Cooking System to "Stovetop High" and preheat for 3 minutes. Place the beef into the pot and cook uncovered for 7–9 minutes, or until the beef is browned, stirring constantly. Add the onion, garlic, and black pepper and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the water and marinara sauce. Stir well. Slowly add the ravioli and stir gently to coat.

Set the cooking system to "Oven" at 350°F. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes until the raviolis are cooked through. Stir occasionally.

While the ravioli lasagna cooks, stir together the Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parmesan, and parsley in a small bowl. When the lasagna is done, turn off the pot and spoon the cheese mixture over the raviolis. Cover and let the lasagna stand for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
