WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE:

Baked Ravioli is the epitome of comfort food.  It's cheesy, saucy, and incredibly satisfying.  The combination of tender ravioli, rich tomato sauce, and gooey melted cheese creates a dish that's hard to resist.  Plus, it's versatile and easy to customize with your favorite ingredients.

INGREDIENTS:

For this Easy Baked Ravioli Recipe you literally only need three ingredients, four if you want to be extra:

• 1 1lb bag of Frozen Ravioli
• 1 jar of Pasta Sauce
• 1/4 c water
• 2 c Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• Grated Parmesan

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1.  Preheat the Oven:   Preheat your oven to 375°F/190°C.  Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2.  Assemble the Dish:  Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.  Arrange half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce.  Spread another layer of sauce over the ravioli and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese.  

Repeat the layers:  Add the remaining ravioli, spread the remaining sauce over the ravioli, sprinkle the remaining cheese over that, and top with some grated Parmesan cheese. 

Step 3.  Bake:  Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.  Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden brown crust.  

Step 4.  Serve:  Remove the baked ravioli from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.  Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired.  Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.  

TIPS FOR THE BEST BAKED RAVIOLI:

• Homemade Sauce:  If you have time, try making my homemade marinara sauce from scratch for and extra layer of flavor.  I'll link it (HERE).  
• Vegetarian Option:  This recipe is already vegetarian, but you can easily add more veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for added nutrition.
• Protein Boost:  For a heartier meal, add cooked ground beef, sausage, or chicken to the layers.  
• Make-Ahead:  Assemble the dish ahead of time and refrigerate.

If you're looking for a delicious, easy-to-make meal that's sure to please everyone at the table, give this baked ravioli recipe a try.  It's perfect for busy weeknights, family gatherings, or any time you crave a comforting, home-cooked meal.  

And as always...

Happy Eatin' Y'all!
