  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Pour 1 cup sauce over the ravioli, then spread ricotta mixture over the sauce and top with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining ravioli, remaining sauce, and remaining mozzarella.
  • Cover with parchment paper and then cover tightly with foil. Freeze for up to one month.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place frozen covered lasagna in the preheated oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Uncover and bake until golden and bubbly, about 20 more minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
