  6. Add another layer of ravioli followed by the remaining spinach and meat, and a little more of each cheese, then a little more marinara. Add the final layer of ravioli then spread the remaining sauce evenly on top.
  7. Sprinkle the top with the last of the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle a bit of dried basil on top.
