How to make Speedy skillet ravioli lasagna

1. Preheat the oven to 230°C (fan 210°C) with a rack positioned in the centre.

2. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium heat until shimmering, approximately 2 minutes.

3. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 1 to 2 minutes.

4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until it darkens slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes.

5. Add the red pepper flakes, crushed tomatoes, basil sprigs, sugar, and 250 ml of water. Season with salt and black pepper, then slightly increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.

6. Gently separate any frozen ravioli that may be stuck together without tearing them; any that resist will separate during cooking.

7. Add the ravioli to the frying pan and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sauce is very thick and the ravioli are just tender, about 15 minutes.

8. Spoon half of the ravioli and sauce into a bowl. Arrange the remaining ravioli in the frying pan in an even layer and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella.

9. Layer the remaining ravioli on top and sprinkle with the Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.

10. Bake until bubbling and the cheese is lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes.

11. Scatter the basil leaves on top and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
