Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until onion turns translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in marinara sauce into the beef mixture, ensuring well combined. Allow to simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the cheese-filled ravioli according to package instructions, usually boiling them in salted water for about 4-6 minutes until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
- In a greased casserole dish, start layering by spooning half of the beef mixture across the bottom. Next, add a layer of the cooked ravioli, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat with remaining beef, ravioli, and finish with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
