1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound bulk mild or hot Italian sausage

1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce

1 cup water

1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated four-cheese ravioli (such as Buitoni)

Instructions

Prepare oven: Preheat oven to 450°F with oven rack 8 inches from heat.

Cook sausage: Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add sausage, and cook, stirring to crumble, until browned and no longer pink, 6 to 7 minutes.

Add marinara sauce: Add marinara sauce and 1 cup water; cook until mixture boils, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring and scraping bottom of skillet to release any browned bits.

Add ravioli: Add ravioli, and cook, stirring often and gently, until sauce is thickened and ravioli is just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Assemble lasagna: Remove from heat. Transfer half of ravioli mixture to a medium bowl. Sprinkle ravioli mixture in skillet evenly with 1 cup of the mozzarella. Top evenly with remaining half of ravioli mixture; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 cup mozzarella.

Bake lasagna: Bake in preheated oven until mozzarella is melted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with basil leaves, and serve immediately.
