Oven Baked Ravioli

Ravioli is great however baked in the oven with extra sauce and cheese is delicious. This dish mimics lasagne without all the layering; so if you are in a hurry this would be the recipe for you.   

Oven Baked Ravioli

-------------------------------------------------------------

2 x 350g packages of fresh Cheese and Spinach Ravioli

3 cups pasta sauce, homemade or from a jar

1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

shredded parmesan cheese

shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 9x13inch baking dish.

In a large bowl whisk together the pasta sauce, Herbs de Provence and mascarpone cheese until nicely blended and smooth. Set aside.

Cook the fresh ravioli according to package directions. Drain well. Add the ravioli to the sauce and toss to coat. Transfer the ravioli to the prepared baking dish. Top with the shredded parmesan and the shredded mozzarella. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 20 minutes or until the cheese and sauce are nice and bubbly. 

It's been a lovely week and a bit of relaxing and enjoying. I hope everyone had a great one and a great weekend too. - JD
