Ingredients
24 oz frozen cheese ravioli
32 oz marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
0.5 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
Fresh basil for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Spread one cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the dish.
Layer half of the frozen ravioli evenly over the sauce.
Pour half of the remaining sauce over the ravioli layer.
Scatter one cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Repeat with the remaining ravioli, sauce, and cheese.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan and Italian seasoning on top.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 35 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.
Notes
You can use beef-filled or spinach-filled ravioli for variation. Ensure the foil is tightly sealed to allow the ravioli to steam properly in the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days for quick lunches.
