Description
A cozy, cheesy bake with layers of frozen ravioli, marinara, rich ricotta, and gooey mozzarella, perfect for weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package frozen cheese ravioli
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish. If your ravioli are stuck together, run under cold water briefly to separate and pat dry.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Dollop half of the ricotta over the ravioli. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and a light dusting of Parmesan. Season with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning.
- Repeat layers with remaining ravioli, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Top with remaining marinara sauce and mozzarella. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.
Notes
Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes before serving to avoid a runny center.
