Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Frozen or refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cups Ricotta cheese
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet with the garlic and stir. Add salt and pepper, and let the sauce simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and half of the grated Parmesan. Mix until blended.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the marinara sauce at the bottom.
Layer half of the cooked ravioli over the sauce in a single layer.
Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the ravioli layer, followed by half of the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella.
Repeat with the remaining ravioli, ricotta mixture, and marinara sauce. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish 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 bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, before serving. Enjoy!
