2 - 10oz.Rana Raviolis ChickenAny brand or flavor will work
2-10oz.Roasted Garlic and Spinach/Mozzarella.
16-24oz.Marinara SauceI used my homemade tomato sauce
2cupsMozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1cupsParmesan Cheese freshly grated pre-shredded will work
1/2cupVidalia onion finely chopped
1TablespoonItalian seasonings
Fresh Basil leaves cut into bits
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350° F as you lay out your ingredients and shred cheese.
Add I/2 cup to 1 cup of Mariana sauce to the bottom of the baking dish.
Lay the ravioli on top of the Mariana sauce in the baking dish - I mix the ravioli. For example, I will lay them in rows with different flavors. This is optional; you can use one flavor throughout.
Pour half of the marinara sauce over the ravioli (You want to create layers like lasagna), then add half of your chopped onion, fresh basil, and Italian seasoning, and top with a layer of shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Repeat this process so you have 2 layers. Top with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil to keep it from drying out. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes until cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from oven and serve. Best served hot.
Notes
Raviolis come in many different flavors. You can use your favorites.
For depth of flavor, I use fresh herbs and grate my cheeses..
I do a lot of canning, and each year, one of the things I make is homemade marinara sauce. It's okay to use your favorite brand.
I used refrigerated ravioli. If using frozen ravioli, increase cooking time by 10 - 15 minutes.
You can adjust the ravioli and sauce depending on your serving size. This recipe is perfect for two with leftovers.
Add ground beef or Italian sausage (ground) to the marina sauce to add different flavors.
