Savory Baked Italian Sausage & Ravioli Delight

Ingredients

- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 lb fresh cheese ravioli
- 1 ½ cups shredded Italian cheese blend

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Coat the Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

4. Assemble the Dish:
a. Spread about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
b. Arrange a layer of fresh cheese ravioli over the sauce.
c. Evenly distribute half of the cooked sausage over the ravioli.
d. Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce over the sausage layer.

5. Repeat Layers:
a. Add another layer of cheese ravioli.
b. Top with the remaining sausage and 1/2 cup of marinara sauce.

6. Add the Final Touch: Sprinkle the shredded Italian cheese blend evenly over the top layer.

7. Bake the Dish: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

8. Finish Baking: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

9. Rest and Serve: Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your savory baked masterpiece!
