Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli Layer
- 1 package frozen ravioli, thawed or cooked as per package instructions
Sauce
- 1 can (about 15 oz) crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of fresh herbs)
Cheese Topping
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for dairy-free)
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil. Place a large skillet over medium heat and warm the olive oil for 1-2 minutes until hot.
- Sauté Garlic. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden but not burnt.
- Prepare the Sauce. Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes to blend flavors and slightly thicken.
- Add the Ravioli. Gently fold in the thawed or cooked frozen ravioli into the skillet, making sure each piece is well coated with the tomato sauce.
- Add Cheese Topping. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauced ravioli layer in the skillet.
- Bake to Finish. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil, then transfer it to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs instead of Italian seasoning for a brighter flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast and use vegan mozzarella.
- Make sure ravioli is thawed or pre-cooked to ensure even heating.
- You can sprinkle some red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a baking dish before baking.
