Ingredients:

  • Cheese mix: parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella

Preparation:

                              
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Spread half of the tomato sauce in a baking dish.
  3. Place the meat-filled ravioli or tortellini on the sauce, creating an even layer.
  4. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over it.
  5. Generously sprinkle the entire dish with the grated cheese mix.
  6. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  7. For the last 10 minutes, turn on the convection setting to make the cheese on top crispy.

Additional tips:

  • Add your favorite spices to the tomato sauce, such as oregano, basil, granulated garlic, or sweet paprika.
  • You can use homemade tomato passata if you don't have ready-made tomato sauce.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms, onions, or peppers to the ravioli or tortellini.
  • Instead of a cheese mix, you can use only one type of cheese, such as mozzarella or parmesan.
  • Serve the lasagna with a vegetable salad or fresh bread.
