1️⃣ Cook the Meat (If Using)

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Brown the ground beef or sausage, breaking it up as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Drain excess grease and mix in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Stir in 1 cup of marinara sauce and remove from heat.

🔥 Pro Tip: For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine or a pinch of red pepper flakes!

2️⃣ Assemble the Lazy Lasagna

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Layer half the ravioli over the sauce (no need to cook it first!).
4. Top with half the cooked meat mixture, ricotta, and mozzarella.
5. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

🔥 Pro Tip: For a crispier top, broil the lasagna for 2-3 minutes after baking!

3️⃣ Bake to Cheesy Perfection

1. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
2. Uncover and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
3. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving (this helps the layers set).
4. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.

🔥 Pro Tip: Letting the lasagna sit for a few minutes helps it hold its shape when sliced!
