1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
2. Prepare the Cheesy Sauce
In a large mixing bowl, stir together marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Layer Your Casserole:
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture at the bottom.
Add half of the frozen cheese ravioli in a single layer.
Spoon half of the remaining sauce over the ravioli, followed by a sprinkle of half the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers: ravioli, sauce, mozzarella, and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese melts into a golden, bubbly perfection.
5. Cool, Garnish & Serve:
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil for an extra burst of flavor.
Quick Tips:
Swap marinara sauce with your favorite pasta sauce for a personalized touch.
