Baked Ravioli
Description
This recipe starts by cooking refrigerated four-cheese ravioli according to package directions. Separately, ground beef is cooked with Italian seasoning and then simmered with marinara sauce. A casserole dish is layered starting with meat sauce, then shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by ravioli, and repeating layers to build a rich, cheesy bake ending with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.
Baking at 350°F melts the cheese and melds the flavors, resulting in a casserole that offers a blend of savory meat, tangy tomato sauce, creamy cheese, and tender pasta. The top browns slightly, adding a bit of texture contrast.
Freshly chopped basil sprinkled on top adds herbaceous freshness before serving. This dish serves as a hearty main meal suitable for family dinners or casual occasions where baked pasta comfort food is desired.
