Traditional lasagna tends to have many ingredients and takes hours to prepare, especially when made from scratch. This 4-ingredient ravioli lasagna is simple to prepare, and the whole dish cooks in the oven — no need to boil — so most of the cooking is hands-off. The result is a casserole that has all the flavors of slow-cooked Sunday lasagna but with a time commitment that makes it realistic for a Wednesday night.
