Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 25-ounce jar pasta or marinara sauce
- 1 25-ounce package frozen or fresh ravioli
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- chopped parsley for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spoon a thin layer of marinara (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup) across the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Arrange a single layer of ravioli over the sauce to cover the bottom of the dish.
- Spoon 1 cup of the sauce evenly over the ravioli, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on top.
- Repeat layering ravioli, 1 cup sauce, and 1 cup mozzarella until all ravioli are used.
- Spread the remaining marinara over the top layer of ravioli and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella, then evenly scatter the shredded Parmesan.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes (increase to about 30 minutes if using frozen ravioli).
- Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven; bake uncovered 5–7 minutes more, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
