Ingredients
24 ounces frozen beef ravioli
24 ounces marinara sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly with olive oil.
Spread one cup of marinara sauce across the bottom of the baking dish.
Arrange the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the ravioli until they are completely covered.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by the dried oregano.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 20 minutes in the center of the oven.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use high-quality frozen ravioli for best results. Ensure the dish is covered tightly with foil during the initial bake to create enough steam to cook the pasta perfectly. If you prefer a darker crust, broil for 1-2 minutes after the baking time is complete.
