Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking dish by lightly greasing it.

  3. Stir in the marinara sauce and Italian seasoning into the meat mixture and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper; mix until creamy.
  5. Layer half of the cheese ravioli in the baking dish, followed by half of the meat sauce, and half of the ricotta mixture.
  6. Repeat the layering with the remaining ravioli, meat sauce, and ricotta mixture.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
