Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the frozen cheese ravioli according to package directions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, half of the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer half of the cooked ravioli on top of the marinara sauce.
Spoon half of the ricotta mixture onto the ravioli, spreading it out with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped spinach over the ricotta layer.
Add 3/4 cup of marinara sauce on top of the spinach, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, ricotta mixture, spinach, and marinara sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the ravioli bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve warm.
