A simple and cheesy baked ravioli casserole that tastes like lasagna but is much easier to make. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (24 ounce) package refrigerated ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Spread about half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. Arrange the ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. You can use them straight from the package.
  5. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the ravioli.
  6. Top with the remaining marinara sauce.
  7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes.

  11. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • For a make-ahead meal, assemble the casserole, cover tightly with plastic wrap and then foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
  • You can add cooked ground beef or Italian sausage to the marinara sauce for a meatier version.
