Ingredients
Scale
- 25 oz bag of frozen cheese ravioli (do not thaw)
- 24 oz jar of high-quality marinara sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the marinara sauce, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes until the sauce is a consistent, creamy orange-red color.
- Spread a thin layer of the creamy sauce at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in an even layer over the sauce. Pour half of the remaining sauce over the ravioli, then sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli and sauce. Top the entire dish with the rest of the mozzarella and the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown in spots. If you like a crispier top, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes. Let the pasta rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.
