Since ravioli is either time-consuming to make, or more expensive than
just plain pasta, it seems to me an incongruous idea to use it
in a casserole. The idea of lasagna is you can make up a large
volume of food cheaply and with not too much effort. Whereas the
idea of ravioli is you've gone to some trouble or expense to come
up with an interesting ravioli filling and it stands on its own;
it doesn't need being smothered with typical lasagna ingredients.

Until I hear more about this, I'm declaring it a non-starter.
