Equipment

Ingredients

1 (24 oz) jar of your favorite pasta sauce
1 cup sausage or ground beef cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
1 (25 oz) bag frozen cheese ravioli
2 cups Italian blend cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Prepare the filling by combining 1 cup of pasta sauce with the cooked sausage and chopped spinach in a bowl. Stir until well mixed. Set aside.
Layer the base by spreading about 1/2 cup of pasta sauce on the bottom of the prepared dish.
Add the first layer of ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. This will use roughly 1/3 of your package.
Spread the entire meat mixture evenly over the ravioli layer.
Add a second layer of ravioli on top of the meat mixture. Spoon over 1/2 cup of sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded Italian cheese.
Repeat with a third and final layer of ravioli, followed by the remaining sauce and another 1 cup of cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is hot and bubbly.
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.

Notes

We often cook a large batch of ground beef ahead of time and freeze it in individual servings. This saves even more time when you are assembling your meals!
