Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Frozen cheese ravioli
- 20 pieces Frozen or homemade meatballs
- 4 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Cook the frozen cheese ravioli in a pot of salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly soft but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
If using frozen meatballs, cook them according to package instructions. If homemade, ensure they're pre-cooked and warmed through.
In a large bowl, mix the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Spread 1 cup of the marinara mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer half of the cooked ravioli on top of the sauce. Add half of the cooked meatballs, spreading them out evenly.
Pour another cup of marinara sauce over the ravioli and meatballs, followed by 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Repeat with the remaining ravioli, meatballs, and sauce, finishing with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
