Ingredients

• 25 oz Frozen cheese ravioli
• 24 oz Marinara sauce
• 3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 lb Ground Italian sausage
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 6–8 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Stir in the marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a 9x13-inch casserole dish, spread a thin layer of the marinara-sausage mixture on the bottom to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Arrange a single layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce.

Step 6

Top the ravioli evenly with a layer of the marinara-sausage mixture, followed by 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process (ravioli, marinara-sausage mixture, cheeses) until all the ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh basil if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your easy and hearty ravioli casserole!
