- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce, divided
- 1 package (20 to 25 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli, uncooked
- 2 cups (226 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup (50 g) Parmesan cheese, grated
- Fresh basil or parsley, for serving, optional
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread about ½ cup of the marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the dish. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease.
Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Pour in the remaining marinara sauce. Stir and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
Arrange half of the uncooked ravioli in a single layer over the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon half of the meat sauce over the ravioli and sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella.
Repeat with the remaining ravioli, meat sauce, and mozzarella. Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over the top.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a more golden top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely.
Let the baked ravioli rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.
