Equipment
- 9 x 13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 20-25 oz frozen ravioli
- 24 oz marinara or pasta sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and spread approximately ½ cup of pasta sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add the frozen ravioli directly from the freezer. There's no need to thaw or boil it first. Pour the remaining pasta sauce and ½ cup water over the ravioli. Gently stir or move the ravioli around so it's coated in sauce and the liquid is distributed throughout the dish.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Trapping moisture inside the dish is what allows the frozen ravioli to cook without boiling it first. Bake for approximately 40–45 minutes, or until the ravioli is tender and hot throughout.
- Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the cheese and parsley over the top. Return the ravioli bake to the oven uncovered for another 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
