Baked Ravioli for the Busy Piano Teacher

Ingredients:

1 jar or large can of spaghetti sauce (any flavor)
1 bag (about 25 oz.) frozen beef, chicken, or cheese ravioli
2 C Mozzarella cheese
1/4 C Parmesan cheese

Optional ingredients:

1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. basil
3-4 cloves of garlic (you can just put in a teaspoon of garlic powder too)
1/2 lb. cooked sweet italian sausage (or any kind of meat that you like with your pasta)

Directions:

Combine your optional ingredients with your spaghetti sauce and simmer if you want (you don’t have to). Spoon a bit of the sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13 glass dish. Place half of the frozen ravioli in the dish. Spoon about half of the sauce on top. Place 1 C of mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat this layering, adding the parmesan cheese on the top. (I also put a little seasonings on the top of the cheese).

Cover cook right away OR store in the fridge for the afternoon. Place the dish in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Then, uncover the dish and cook an additional 10-15 minutes at 425 or until the cheese is a little brown on top.

Recipe Notes:

There’s something amazingly yummy about browned cheese. I’ve made this several times and thought that I had burned it, but it was even better with the browned cheese.
