Add the minced sausage and cook, breaking up the pieces with a spatula, for about 5-7 minutes, or until well browned. Drain any excess fat.<\/li>\n<li>If using, add the finely chopped garlic to the sausage and cook for one minute until fragrant. Pour in the passata, add the dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Begin to assemble the lasagna. Spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange one-third of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Cover with another layer of sauce and half of the mozzarella and a little Parmesan.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat with another layer of ravioli, sauce, and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Finish with the last third of the ravioli, the remaining sauce, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges are lightly golden.<\/li>\n<li>Let it rest for a few minutes before serving and, if desired, garnish with fresh basil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>This speedy lasagna is best served hot directly from the oven. It pairs beautifully with a light green salad.
