• 1 small onion, chopped

• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning or a pinch of herbs

Instructions

1. Prep the good stuff

• Preheat your oven to 325°F.

• Brown the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat.

• Add the onions and cook until soft.

• Toss in the garlic and spices; cook 1 more minute.

• Remove from heat and stir the sausage mixture into your jar of pasta sauce.

2. Mix the ricotta layer

• In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, grated garlic, Parmesan, salt, seasonings, and pepper.

• This will be your creamy middle layer that makes everything taste restaurant-level good.

3. Start stacking

Grab a baking dish and layer it up:

1. A thin layer of sausage and sauce

2. A single layer of fresh ravioli

3. Dollops of the ricotta mixture

4. More sauce

5. Repeat until your dish is nearly full

6. Finish with a gorgeous layer of fresh mozzarella on top

4. Bake

• Pop into the oven for 20 minutes at 325°F until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and irresistible.

5. Serve

Let it rest for 3–5 minutes (if your starving family will let you).
Scoop, serve, and watch it disappear. 

Quick. Cozy. Crowd-worthy.
Enjoy!!
