A quick, easy and cheap dinner idea the entire family will love!
Pleasing everyone at dinner time isn’t easy, especially when you have picky kids. We all tend to like different things, which is why eating out is so much fun. However, I have found this meal to not only be the EASIEST dinner recipe I’ve ever made, but it’s always a hit.
You can customize it to your own liking using cheese, chicken or beef stuffed ravioli. You can also add meat or veggies like spinach to the layers if you want. I like to spice it up with a little red pepper and serve it with caesar salad.
If you end up with any leftovers, it’s the BEST surprise to find in the fridge for lunch the next day.
Let’s Get Started!
Ingredients:-
- 1 (24oz) bag of frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 (24oz) jar of marinara or pasta sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella (heaping)
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan (optional)
Instructions:-
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- Spread a thin layer of your marinara sauce onto the bottom of the pan (about 3/4 cup).
- Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce (should be about 12 of them).
- Top with half of the remaining sauce and half of the mozzarella.
- Repeat the layers starting with what's left of the ravioli. Finish by topping with the remaining sauce and cheese. Sprinkle with parmesan if you'd like.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese starts to brown.
- Serve with veggies, salad, garlic bread or anything else you'd like!
Don't be afraid to experiment! You can also add ground beef, cooked sausage, spinach, or veggies to your layers.
