Million Dollar Baked Ravioli
Million Dollar Baked Ravioli is a cheesy, golden pasta bake that comes together in under 30 minutes—perfect for busy weeknights, festive gatherings, or anytime you crave a cozy, crowd-pleasing casserole recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 (25-ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli substitute whole-wheat or gluten-free
- 2 cups marinara sauce I love Rao’s Homemade or your favorite brand
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta whole-milk ricotta adds extra creaminess
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan freshly grated packs more umami
- 1 large egg gives structure—feel free to skip for egg-free
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 minced cloves of fresh garlic
- Pinch red-pepper flakes optional for a hint of heat
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. (Tip: line with foil for easier cleanup.)
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, ricotta, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. This cheesy layer gives the bake its 'million dollar' richness.
- Spread marinara across the bottom of the dish, then layer ravioli, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Repeat layers.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes; then remove foil and bake for additional 8-10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into neat squares. Serve warm.
