Big Momma's Baked Ravioli

This is a super easy, but super tasty entree.  It is perfect for weeknight when you are tired and don't want to be in the kitchen all evening.  It takes less than 15 minutes to prepare and you can relax while it is baking.  It is also a great covered dish for potlucks  Honestly, it is good anytime!


1  24-ounce bag frozen ravioli (cheese filled, spinach filled, or meat filled)
1  25-ounce jar of marinara sauce (I use Emeril's)
1  14.5-ounce canned diced tomatoes, undrained
2  Tablespoons Italian Blend Seasoning (I use McCormick)
1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar (cuts the can taste of the tomatoes)
2 cup shredded Five Blend Italian cheese
1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese (not the green can)


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.  In a bowl, mix marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasonings, garlic powder, pepper and sugar.   Spoon 3-4 tablespoons of sauce mixture in the bottom of the pan, just to cover it. .  Layer half of the frozen raviolis on top.  Spread half the sauce on top of raviolis. and then top with 3/4 cup of Italian blend cheese.  Layer remaining raviolis, then 3/4 cup of cheese and sauce.  Top with remaining Italian blend cheese and Parmesan cheese.  Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes.  Remove foil and bake 15 more minutes.  Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

You can add sliced pepperoni, cooked ground Italian sausage, or hamburger if you like.
