A few quick notes
1. Start with a thin sauce layer
Spread spaghetti sauce over the dish bottom before adding the first ravioli layer and its toppings.
2. Repeat the layer order
Build ravioli, sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni in that order, repeating until the dish is layered.
3. Cover for the main bake
Bake covered until heated through and bubbling at the sides, before choosing the optional uncovered finish.
Get to know the ingredients
Frozen cheese ravioli
Use the frozen cheese ravioli listed for layering directly into the casserole with sauce and toppings.
Shredded mozzarella
Keep mozzarella shredded for scattering between layers and over the top before the pepperoni.
Sliced pepperoni
Use sliced pepperoni in each repeated layer, with pepperoni and cheese also forming the top.

How to make it
0 of 3 steps completeMake room for Pepperoni Ravioli Lasagna
Review ingredients in your pantry before anything is added. Meal plans use your household size; grocery-only additions use the servings selected above.
The last little job
Crisp the cheese if desired
Uncover for the last baking stage if you'd like crisp cheese edges, then serve once hot and bubbling.
A little more help as you go
Use the two-quart dish
The layers start in the specified two-quart casserole dish, with the thin sauce layer already spread across its bottom.
Keep sauce between the pasta
Each ravioli layer is covered with spaghetti sauce before cheese and pepperoni, continuing through the repeated layers.
A few questions you might have
Do I boil the ravioli separately?
The directions layer the frozen ravioli into the casserole with sauce; no separate boiling stage is included.
What should the top layer be?
Finish the repeated layers with cheese and pepperoni on top before covering the dish for baking.
Is uncovered baking required?
It's optional for crisping cheese edges during the last part of baking, after the covered stage.
How do I know the casserole is hot enough through?
The directions look for a heated-through casserole and sauce bubbling around the sides before finishing.
Does pepperoni go only over the finished dish?
Layer it inside with the mozzarella and repeat, keeping cheese and pepperoni at the top too.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
These are general safety limits, not a tested storage or freezing recommendation for this particular dish. USDA leftovers guidance · Safe cooking temperatures
