Ingredients
  

  • 2 9-ounce packages refrigerated cheese ravioli (such as Buitoni)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • cups sliced cremini mushrooms 8 ounces
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion 1 small
  • 5 cups baby spinach 5 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 28-ounce can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt divided
  • 4 1-ounce slices fresh mozzarella cheese, torn (about ½ cup)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven and Cook Ravioli
  2. Position the oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to broil.
  3. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to the package directions until tender. Drain well and set aside.
  4. Cook the Mushroom and Spinach Mixture
  5. Heat the olive oil in a medium, high-sided ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Spread the mushrooms in an even layer and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until browned on the bottom.
  7. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned, and the onions are softened, about 4 minutes.
  8. Stir in the spinach, garlic, and crushed red pepper, cooking constantly until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
  9. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
  10. Prepare the Tomato Sauce
  11. In the same skillet, combine the crushed tomatoes, chopped basil, and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
  12. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  13. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked ravioli.
  14. Transfer the ravioli mixture to a separate medium bowl.
  15. Assemble the Lasagna
  16. Spread half of the ravioli mixture (about 3 cups) evenly in the bottom of the skillet.
  17. Layer half of the spinach mixture (about 1 cup) over the ravioli.
  18. Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli mixture and spinach mixture.
  19. Tear the mozzarella slices and arrange them evenly over the top.
  20. Broil the Lasagna
  21. Place the skillet under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  22. Serve and Garnish
  23. Let the lasagna stand for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.

Notes

  • Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have cremini mushrooms, button or portobello mushrooms will work. For a vegan version, use plant-based ravioli and dairy-free mozzarella.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the lasagna in the skillet, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Broil just before serving.
  • Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
  • Additional Tips: For extra cheesiness, sprinkle grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano over the top before broiling.
