Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces refrigerated or frozen cheese ravioli
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
If using frozen ravioli, cook it according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer half of the ravioli over the sauce in a single layer.
Spoon half of the ricotta cheese over the ravioli and spread gently.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the ricotta layer.
Spread another layer of 1 cup marinara sauce over the cheeses.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ravioli, ricotta cheese, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the top layer with Italian seasoning for added flavor.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and enjoy your delicious Weeknight Ravioli Bake!
