1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2️⃣ Cook the Ravioli:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

3️⃣ Prepare the Sauce:

  • In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

4️⃣ Assemble the Casserole:

  • Spread a thin layer of the sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Arrange half of the cooked ravioli in a single layer on top of the sauce.
  • Spread half of the ricotta cheese over the ravioli, then sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella.
  • Repeat with another layer of sauce, ravioli, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese.

5️⃣ Bake:

  • Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden.

6️⃣ Garnish & Serve:

  • Sprinkle fresh parsley over the casserole before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
