Pro Tips 

• Use fresh or frozen ravioli. The ravioli does not need to be thawed or boiled. 
• If using frozen ravioli, you may need to add a few minutes to the baking time. 
• I used cheese ravioli, but you can use any ravioli flavor. 
• The ravioli absorbs quite a bit of sauce while cooking, so even if it seems like too much sauce, it will come out perfectly in the end. 
• This recipe makes a large casserole. You can easily divide the ingredients between two smaller casserole dishes and freeze one for later. 
• No baby spinach? Use regular spinach instead. 
• Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese. 

Delicious Variations

• Swap the Ravioli – I make this with cheese ravioli, but you can use any flavor you love.
• Add Meat – If you have meat lovers in your family, you can add cooked ground Italian sausage or ground beef. Or, use meat filled ravioli.
• Swap the Sauce – Use alfredo sauce instead of marinara sauce. 
• Add Seasoning – Amp up the flavor with the addition of this easy homemade Italian Seasoning.
• Make It Spicy – Add crushed red pepper or spicy arrabbiata sauce.
• Replace The Ravioli – Replace the ravioli with tortellini, gnocchi, or any cooked pasta. 

Prep And Storage

• Prep Ahead – Assemble the casserole the night before and bake when ready. You can also freeze for up to 3 months. 
• Store – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave. 
• Freeze – Cover and freeze this baked ravioli casserole before you bake it. When you’re ready to cook it, simply pop the frozen dish in the oven and add a little extra time to the cooking time.
