  3. Finish this layer with the remaining mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.

Notes

Thaw ravioli slightly before layering for even cooking. You can add sautéed vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers to boost nutrition without sacrificing taste. Experiment with different types of cheeses for a unique twist. Serve with a crisp salad to balance the richness.
