Ingredients

• 2 packages beef ravioli (fresh or frozen)
• 3 cups tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 cups ricotta
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• Chopped fresh basil for garnish

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a baking dish with oil. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine the tomato sauce and ricotta cheese. Stir until smooth. In the baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce. Add a single layer of ravioli (there’s no need to cook it first) and then top it with half of the sauce and repeat. Finish it with the mozzarella cheese.
Bake, covered in foil, until the pasta is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cheese is golden, for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve immediately with fresh basil or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
