🍽️ Customizing Your Ravioli Lasagna
Love to experiment in the kitchen? Here are a few ways to make this recipe your own:
Swap Out Ravioli Flavors:
Instead of cheese ravioli, try using one of Nicola’s specialty ravioli flavors:
🥩 Beef Short Rib Ravioli – For a richer, more savory bite
🌱 Spinach Ravioli – A light, fresh alternative
🎃 Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Ravioli – Perfect for a fall-inspired twist
🍄 Mushroom Ravioli – Adds deep, umami flavors
🌽 Roasted Corn Ravioli – A slightly sweet, gourmet option
Additionally, you could try using our DOP Asiago d’allevo in place of mozzarella for a unique cheesy flavor.
Add a Nutty, Fruity Touch
For a sweet & savory contrast, add ½ cup of toasted walnuts & dried cranberries between the layers.
Try a Béchamel Sauce Instead of Tomato Sauce
Prefer a creamier, white sauce lasagna? Substitute tomato sauce with this easy homemade béchamel:
Béchamel Sauce Recipe:
✔️ 5 tbsp butter
✔️ ¼ cup all-purpose flour
✔️ 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
✔️ ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
✔️ 3 cups milk
How to Make It:
1️⃣ Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan.
2️⃣ Whisk in flour until smooth and golden brown (about 7 minutes).
3️⃣ Slowly add milk while whisking constantly.

5️⃣ Add salt & nutmeg to taste.
Use this rich, velvety sauce as an alternative base for your ravioli lasagna.
