  • Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute
  • Add in the spice and mix them in then add the tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and browned beef and sausage. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • While the sauce cooks, mix the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese in a small bowl, and set aside.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
  • In 13x9 casserole dish, cover the bottom with a single layer of sauce, then place a layer of ravioli in the pan (fitting four raviolis across and 5-6 raviolis down)
  • Top with 1 cup of the meat sauce and ½ the mozzarella cheese.
  • Place a second layer of ravioli, and top again with 1 cup of the sauce and the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap then with foil.
  • Bake at 350 degrees over for 25 minutes then uncover and remove the foil and the plastic wrap and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Optional broiling: Turn the broiler on high and cook uncovered for 3-5 more minutes to achieve the desired doneness.
  • Serve immediately, enjoy with fresh grated parsley and fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

There will be about 1-1 ½ cups of meat sauce left over.
The plastic wrap will not ‘melt’ to your pan, this method creates a steam effect and assists in even cooking of this dish
