Baked Ravioli

Contributed By: tiredmoms

Very simple and kid-friendly recipe. You can assemble this ahead of time and refrigerate it, then bake it right before dinner.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Olive oil

1 Medium onion, chopped

3 Garlic cloves, mince

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons Dried thyme or oregano

1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

2 pounds Fresh ravioli (I use cheese ravioli)

1 1/2 cups Shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup Grated Parmesan

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5 minutes). Add thyme and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon, until sauce is thickened and reduced to about 5 1/2 cups, 20 to 25 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, cook ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water just until they float to the top (the pasta will continue to cook in the oven). Drain pasta; return to pot.

3. Toss sauce with pasta. Pour pasta into a 9 x 13 baking dish, and sprinkle with cheeses. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

Cook's Notes

This is extremely easy and my kids love it. Serve with a salad.
