Serves

8 people

Ingredients

2x 1kg/2.2lb packages frozen jumbo cheese ravioli (you will likely use 1 ½ packages but it will depend on the size of your baking pan)

8 cups Massimo’s tomato sauce

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1 1/2 cups grated parmesan, divided

Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Lightly grease your baking dish.
    **Note: You don’t have to thaw or cook the ravioli first, just put it in the pan frozen.
  3. Spread 2 cups of tomato sauce on the bottom of the pan.
  4. Layer ravioli in an even layer over the sauce (3 rows of 5-6 ravioli per row depending on the size of your pan – you want the edges to slightly overlap). Spread 3 cups of tomato sauce over the ravioli. Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of mozzarella cheese and ¾ cup parmesan cheese.
  5. Then, layer a second ravioli layer followed by 3 cups of sauce, 1 ½ cups of mozzarella cheese and ¾ cup of parmesan cheese.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted.
  7. Remove pan from the oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
  8. Garnish with parsley.

TIPS

  • This is a great dish to hide vegetables in. Get that food processor out and blitz up carrots, zucchini and even sweet peppers!
