I just loaded up on ravioli, it was on sale too. I like the mini better than the large. I like it with just some butter and parmesan, my daughter likes it with tomato sauce (with a spoon of sugar, she won't eat it unless the sauce has a spoon of sugar).
Here come some more. Another idea for the ravioli lasagna, perhaps experiment w layering chili & cheese between ravioli layers, top w cheese & bake. OR - layers of pesto & cheese Or - Use a mushroom sauce, or sneak in some shrimp. See what you think. Lotsa Pasta-bilities.

I once read an article on an old man who's store bought sauce always tasted better than everyone elses. When he passed away, his daughters went thru his things and found dozens of empty jars that had originally kept grape jam. They tried a spoonful in sauce, and there was his secret ingredient! I've tried it before, and it does cut the acid. However, my husband has threatened divorce if I ever do it again!

Lemon Cream Ravioli
1 lb. fresh broccoli florets
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 package (16 oz.) frozen cheese ravioli
¼ cup butter or margarine
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
6 oz. cubed cooked ham, optional
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large lemon
In a six quart saucepan, bring 4 quarts of water, salt, and vegetable oil to a rolling boil. Add frozen ravioli; stir to separate the pieces. Cover pan until water returns to boiling. Uncover and cook for 5 minutes. Add broccoli to pan of boiling ravioli and cook until broccoli is tender and pasta is al dente. Drain pasta and broccoli in a large colander.
While pasta and broccoli are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in cream and grated lemon zest and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add Parmesan cheese, cubed cooked ham, and the black pepper. Cook until thoroughly heated.
Prepare garnish: Using a floating blade vegetable peeler, remove the outside yellow portion of the lemon peel. With a very sharp knife, cut lemon zest into very thin 1 ½ inch long julienne pieces. Place in a small bowl of ice water to curl.
Transfer pasta and broccoli back to large saucepan. Pour lemon cream sauce over pasta mixture and toss well to coat thoroughly. Transfer pasta mixture to a serving dish; garnish with julienne lemon zest and serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.

Yummy SierraCook.....sounds really easy to prepare too....thanks~!
Hi, SizzlininIN. Here's comes another one. (Guess I'd call it, Shake N Bake Ravioli.)
SierraCook, your recipe sounds wonderful. Also wanted to say Hi, & thanks for your welcome.
Hi, jkath. Not sure if I understood? Add grape jam to store-bought tomato sauce?
Italian Baked Ravioli
18 oz refrigerated filled ravioli, flavor of choice
1/4 c butter, melted
1/2 c Italian-style dry bread crumbs
1/4 c shredded parmesan cheese
pepper, to taste
2 tbl fresh parsley, chopped
Heat oven to 400F. Grease rectangular baking dish.
Cook ravioli as directed on pkg. Toss ravioli & butter in baking dish. Mix remaining ingred, except parsley. *Toss ravioli & bread crumb mixture; spread evenly in dish. Sprinkle w parsley. Bake uncovered 15-20 mins or until mixture is hot & topping is golden brown.
*Zip-lock bag might help in coating w crumbs.
******
Some saucey ideas:
Top w rotel or diced tomatoes (w fresh herbs) mixed w ranch or alfredo sauce.
Ranch/Italian or creamy Italian dressing & roasted red peppers.
Any Pesto of choice (tomato, basil, many varieties) - or -
Combine cooked raviol w cooked spinach souffle (Stouffers is pretty good)
Any Alfredo of choice (sun-dried tomato, mushroom, garlic).
Carbonara or vodka/tomato sauce.
I may have found the above recipe on the Mrs. T's Perogie site (love those perogies too). You could take a look-see over there, & probably get some more ideas.
Probably my favorite, mix w melted butter garlic sauce, sprinkle w fresh grated cheese of choice, & fresh herbs.
