Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your casserole turns out perfectly:

• Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for a nutritious boost.
• If you love garlic, consider adding some minced garlic to the marinara sauce for a creamy garlic pasta twist.
• For a bit of spice, sprinkle some red pepper flakes between the layers.
• Make sure to use a good quality marinara sauce; it makes all the difference!
• This recipe is also great for dump and bake dinner recipes—just layer and go!

How to Serve

This No-Boil Ravioli Casserole is a complete meal on its own, but you can elevate your dinner by serving it with:

• A fresh garden salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread or breadsticks for that perfect Italian touch.
• A glass of red wine to complement the flavors.
• For a vegetarian option, pair it with a side of roasted vegetables.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re like me and love to plan ahead, this casserole is perfect for making in advance. Here’s how:

• You can assemble the casserole a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
• If you want to freeze it, cover it tightly with foil and freeze before baking. When you’re ready to enjoy, just bake it straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the oven or microwave!
