Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 2 adults, 2 children

Number Of Ingredients 6

oil , for frying
6 sausages (we used Italian sausages with herbs and fennel)
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes with garlic & basil
200g baby spinach
500g spinach & ricotta ravioli (or any flavour you like)
75g mixture of grated cheddar and mozzarella

Steps:

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan. Squeeze the sausagemeat from the skins and fry until browned, using a wooden spoon to break it up. Add the tomatoes and half a can of water and season. Simmer for 20 mins.
  • Meanwhile, put the spinach in a colander. Pour over boiled water from the kettle to wilt. Leave to cool, then squeeze out as much of the excess water as you can.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spoon a third of the sauce into a medium baking dish (about 18 x 20cm). Top with a third of the spinach and a third of the ravioli, then scatter over some of the cheese. Repeat the layers twice, making sure the final layer of ravioli is nestled into the sauce. Bake for 35-40 mins until bubbling and hot all the way through. Cover if the top starts to get too dark. Will keep in the freezer for up to two months.

Tips for Making Do-Ahead Raisin Sausage Lasagna:

  • Use a quality ricotta cheese. A good ricotta cheese will be smooth and creamy, with a slightly sweet flavor. Avoid ricotta cheeses that are grainy or watery.
  • Don't overcook the sausage. Overcooked sausage will be tough and dry. Cook the sausage until it is just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Let the lasagna cool before assembling. This will help to prevent the lasagna from falling apart when you cut it.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the lasagna. A dull knife will tear the lasagna and make it difficult to serve.
  • Serve the lasagna with a side of your favorite marinara sauce.

Conclusion:

This Do-Ahead Raisin Sausage Lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and comforting meal, give this Do-Ahead Raisin Sausage Lasagna a try!
