We eat this baked ravioli for dinner on many weeknights. It's a quick and easy meal that can be tossed together and thrown in the oven in under ten minutes. It takes a half hour to cook, and we can spend that time playing with Gracie while it's in the oven. It's comfort food, it's delicious, and it's fairly healthy. What's not to love?
Variations
You can cook a pound of ground beef or turkey in a skillet with 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, and add that to the spaghetti sauce.
You can sauté 16 ounces of sliced mushrooms and half of an onion, diced, and add that to the spaghetti sauce.
For a cheesier casserole, double the ricotta mixture and add a layer on top of both layers of ravioli.
Recipe
Quick and Easy Baked Ravioli
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- ⅔ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 16 ounces frozen ravioli (use your favorite - cheese, meat, mushroom, a combination)
- 28 ounces spaghetti sauce (again, use your favorite - we typically use our homemade tomato sauce, but alfredo is good, too)
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Spread 1 cup of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of the 9x13 pan. Top with half of the ravioli and another cup of sauce.
- Spoon the ricotta cheese mixture over the ravioli and spread out to form an even layer. Top with 1½ cups of mozzarella.
- Top the casserole with remaining ravioli, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Cover the ravioli lasagna casserole with foil and bake at 350ºF for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
- Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
