# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to package directions, typically 3–5 minutes. Drain well in a colander.

04 - Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top in a uniform layer.
05 - Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
06 - Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown with bubbly edges.
07 - Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

# Expert Advice:

  • Everything bakes in one dish so cleanup happens while you eat
  • It company worthy impressive but takes about ten minutes of actual work
02 -
  • Overbaked ravioli becomes tough, so set your timer as soon as that cheese starts bubbling
  • The sauce continues thickening as it rests, so do not panic if it looks slightly thin when you first pull it from the oven
  • Salt your pasta water generously because the ravioli itself needs seasoning
03 -
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre shredded for that authentic Italian restaurant flavor
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce if you want to taste like you ordered from the best place in town
