This Baked Ravioli Casserole is a comforting, cheesy Italian-inspired dish that layers tender cheese ravioli with rich tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and grated parmesan. Baked to bubbly perfection, it’s an easy-to-make casserole perfect for a family dinner or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Casserole

  • Oil spray (or butter / neutral cooking oil, for greasing the dish)
  • 1 lb cheese ravioli (fresh or refrigerated; thaw first if frozen)
  • 2 (16 oz) jars tomato sauce (basil and herbs or your favorite)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dish: Spray a casserole dish generously with cooking spray or grease it well using butter or neutral cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  2. First layer assembly: Place half of the cheese ravioli evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish, then spoon half of the tomato sauce over the ravioli. Distribute half of the sliced fresh mozzarella and half of the grated parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.
  3. Second layer assembly: Add the remaining ravioli as a second layer followed by the rest of the tomato sauce. Finish by layering the remaining fresh mozzarella slices and grated parmesan evenly over the top.
  4. Bake to finish: Preheat the oven to 400℉ (200℃). Bake the assembled casserole uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and has developed a golden, bubbly crust. Let it rest a few minutes before serving to set.

Notes

  • You can use either fresh or refrigerated ravioli; if using frozen, be sure to thaw them first.
  • Customize the tomato sauce by selecting your favorite variety—basil and herb blends work especially well.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes into the tomato sauce before layering.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
