For a cozy night, let baked ravioli wrap you in warm comfort and delicious flavors!

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your baked ravioli come out perfectly melted and warm.

2

In a baking dish, spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom. This will help prevent the ravioli from sticking.

3

Cook the ravioli according to package instructions, typically boiling for about 4 to 5 minutes until al dente. Then, drain and set aside.

4

In a large bowl, combine the cooked ravioli with the remaining marinara sauce, half of the mozzarella, and the basil. Gently fold everything together to coat the ravioli.

5

Spoon the ravioli mixture into the baking dish over the marinara layer, spreading evenly.

6

Top with the remaining mozzarella and sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top. This will create a deliciously cheesy crust as it bakes.

7

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

9

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

10

Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving, letting the delicious smells fill your kitchen.
