Serves:

Ingredients

1lbground Italian sausage
12ozroasted red peppersdrained and diced
28ozmarinara pasta sauce
30ozfrozen cheese ravioli
8ozmozzarella cheese
½cupParmesan cheese
½cupfresh basil leaveschopped or julienned, optional

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray, and set aside.
In a large saute pan, cook sausage over medium heat until browned and no longer pink, stirring and breaking up the sausage with a metal spatula or spoon while it cooks.
Drain off the excess grease, then stir the diced roasted red peppers in with the sausage. Set aside.

To assemble the lasagna:

Spread half of a jar of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Spread the contents of 1 package of ravioli in an even layer on top of the sauce.
Spread half of the sausage and red pepper mixture evenly on top of the ravioli, followed by the remaining half of a jar of marinara sauce, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Repeat each of these layers, minus the Parmesan.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for a final 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Remove, and garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.
Serve warm.
