Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Frozen ravioli (cheese, meat, or spinach) – about 20 ounces (570 g)
  • Marinara sauce – 2 cups (480 ml)
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese – 2 cups (200 g)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup (50 g)
  • Italian seasoning – 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the ravioli and sauce: Place half of the frozen ravioli evenly in the casserole dish without thawing. Pour half of the marinara sauce over the ravioli, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon to coat.
  3. Add cheese and seasonings: Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses across the sauced ravioli layer. Evenly sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder to enhance flavor.
  4. Repeat layers: Add the remaining ravioli in a single layer followed by the rest of the marinara sauce. Top with remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and a light extra dusting of Italian seasoning.
  5. Bake until bubbly: Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like basil or oregano for added freshness before serving.
  • Do not thaw ravioli before baking to ensure proper texture.
  • Layer ingredients evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Try mixing mozzarella with Parmesan or provolone for richer cheese flavor.
  • Cover tightly with foil to keep moisture during baking and prevent drying.
