Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  4. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
  5. Add half of the cooked ravioli in a single layer.

  8. Repeat the layers with the remaining marinara sauce, ravioli, sausage, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
  9. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper on top.
  10. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
  11. Let the Million Dollar Ravioli Casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a quicker cooking time, use fresh ravioli instead of frozen.
  • Substitute ground beef or turkey for Italian sausage if preferred.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking for extra heat.
  • Consider adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a vegetarian version of this Million Dollar Ravioli Bake.
  • If you don’t have mozzarella, provolone or fontina cheese can be used.
  • Swap marinara sauce for Alfredo sauce for a creamier Million Dollar Ravioli Dish.
  • Add roasted red peppers or artichoke hearts between layers for extra flavor.
  • Serve with garlic bread, a green salad, or crusty Italian bread.
  • Let the casserole cool completely before storing leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or in the microwave.
