EASY BAKED RAVIOLI CASSEROLE WITH FROZEN RAVIOLI

This is a four-cheese ravioli casserole recipe with layers of frozen ravioli, pasta sauce, and melted mozzarella. Optionally, you can also add ground beef to the pasta sauce. It also makes a great freezer meal.

This is a ravioli casserole recipe that can be a dump recipe if you do not use ground beef or precooked ravioli.
It’s as easy as placing the frozen ravioli in the casserole dish, adding a jar of pasta sauce, and topping it with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

I love the ease and simplicity of this dish that only needs 4 ingredients to make and feeds the whole family on any given weeknight.

The layers of ravioli bake until tender in the pasta sauce and the melted cheese is gooey on top. It only takes a few minutes of prep time and is also an easy make-ahead recipe.

Spray aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray so the cheese does not stick. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 60 minutes.
Broil for 2 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.

RECIPE WITH PRECOOKED RAVIOLI AND MEAT
To cut baking time, but add a little prep work, you can also boil the noodles according to the package directions prior to baking.

This cuts the baking time down to 20-25 minutes but adds approximately 4 minutes of boiling time. Still a huge time saver!
