Main Ingredients

  • 1 jar (24-ounce) marinara sauce
  • 1 container (15-ounce) ricotta cheese
  • 1 package (8-ounce) shredded mozzarella cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Layering
  1. Spread half of the frozen cheese ravioli evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  2. Pour half of the marinara sauce over the ravioli, making sure to cover it well.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top of the sauce, but don’t worry about spreading it perfectly; it will melt in the oven!
  4. If using, sprinkle the fresh spinach evenly over the ricotta layer.
  5. Add the remaining ravioli, followed by the remaining marinara sauce.
Finishing Touches
  1. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top, then season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serving
  1. Let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot!
