Why a springform pan?
It makes for a pretty presentation.
As you'll see in the photos and video, I made this Alfredo Ravioli Lasagna in a square-shaped springform pan.
The reason I chose this pan is that I've had it in my cabinet, and have never (not once) used it.
It's not like I have a lot of unused pots and pans in my kitchen, but due to neglect and a fair bit of inorganization on my part (i.e., getting pushed to the back of the cabinet), my square springform pan was in need of some serious loving.
Mistakes happen:
Before I go any further, I have to call myself out on making a huge mistake with this recipe post.
If you're a regular visitor here, then you know I always like to have several completed photos of the finished dish throughout the post.
However, upon looking through my computer files I've come to the unhappy realization that I never took any "hero shots" of this completed dish, and believe me, I looked in every computer file I have.
Wah Waaah! Sad story.
Luckily for me, I'm able to pull still shots from the video I made and I'm able to piece them together and make this work, even though it's not what I'm used to, or how I like to normally do things.
But, as we all know, sometimes life's mistakes bring the greatest treasures, so we'll just see how this goes. LOL
Is a springform pan needed for this recipe?
Now if you're thinking you can't make this recipe because you don't have a springform pan, please don't let that discourage you.
You can easily make this layered ravioli in any casserole dish you have, rectangle, square, round, or oval as long as it's at least 3 quarts or larger in size.
Alfredo sauce. Homemade or store-bought?
Also, you'll notice that I used jarred Alfredo sauce for this particular recipe, but I doctored it up.
I don't always use jarred Alfredo sauce, but since I wanted to keep this recipe fast and easy, the jarred sauce was the way to go.
However, if you have a favorite homemade Alfredo sauce recipe you enjoy, by all means, use it.
How to doctor up store-bought alfredo sauce:
- Add the sauce to a large bowl.
- Whisk in beaten eggs, minced garlic, fresh Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasonings, and fresh black pepper.
- Use in this recipe (or other alfredo sauce recipes), as directed.
Here are some homemade alfredo sauces for you to try:

Are there rules for layering this easy ravioli lasagna?
Nope. Layer in whatever order you feel comfortable but you can see exactly how I did it in the video if you're interested.
Can this ravioli lasagna be frozen after baking?
Yes.
Cool it completely first and then spoon and store it in air-tight freezer containers for up to 3 months.
OR, you can freeze the complete springform ravioli lasagna, before it's been sliced or served.
Once thoroughly cooled, add the springform collar back on the lasagna, cover it well with plastic wrap. and freeze for up to 3 months.
