This Spinach and Cheese Ravioli Bake is a delightful twist on traditional lasagna, combining layers of cheesy ravioli with spinach and a rich tomato sauce.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Coat a 13-by-9 inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread a third of the marinara sauce evenly on the bottom.
Using a silicone spatula helps spread the sauce evenly.
Arrange half of the ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
Place the ravioli slightly overlapping for better coverage.
Scatter the spinach evenly over the ravioli.
Break up any clumps of spinach for even distribution.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the spinach.
Mix the cheeses together beforehand for a more uniform topping.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, sauce, and cheeses.
Press down gently on the layers to compact them slightly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Ensure the foil is tightly sealed to retain moisture.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Switch to broil mode for the last 2 minutes for a crispy top.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
This resting time allows the layers to set for easier serving.
