A layered, bubbly casserole that combines cheese ravioli, Italian sausage, and melty cheeses for a quick and comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of cheese ravioli
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat a skillet over medium. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a large baking dish.
  4. Arrange half of the cheese ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage over the ravioli.
  5. Spoon half of the ricotta in dollops over the sausage, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on top.
  6. Repeat with another layer of ravioli, sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella. Finish with remaining marinara sauce and mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and substitute with sautéed vegetables. You can prepare this casserole in advance and bake it later.
