Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (700 g/24 oz) bag frozen cheese ravioli (no need to thaw)
  • 3 cups (700 ml) marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (240 g) ricotta cheese (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:

  • Set your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.

2. Assemble the casserole:

  • Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Add a single layer of frozen ravioli on top of the sauce.
  • Spoon small dollops of ricotta cheese (if using) over the ravioli.
  • Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and a little Parmesan cheese.
  • Repeat the layers: sauce, ravioli, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan until all the ingredients are used up.
  • Finish with a final layer of sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes on top for extra flavor.

3. Bake:

  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

4. Garnish and serve:

  • Let the baked ravioli rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add cooked ground beef, sausage, or shredded chicken between the layers for added protein.
  • Use spinach- or mushroom-stuffed ravioli for extra flavor.
  • Make ahead by assembling the casserole and storing it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
