Greek Ravioli Bake

 This is one of those dishes that literally just brings two different tastes crashing together in a totally delicious way.

I did a riff on the Greek dish, Pastitsio, which has a tubular pasta tossed with egg and cheese, a layer of meat sauce and then a creamy Bechemal sauce poured over it all and baked. 

I used frozen meat filled ravioli's, a favorite jarred marinara and made an easy Bechemal sauce.Layer these with mozzarella cheese and you've got ooey-gooey goodness!

No one will be walking away from this super-easy cheesy, creamy dish.

Ingredients:

1 32 oz. frozen meat or cheese ravioli-uncooked   

1 20 oz jar of Marinara

2 cups of shredded Mozzarella cheese

4 tbsp butter

2-3 tbsp flour

1 ½ cups milk

Pinch of Nutmeg

Directions:

1.     Preheat oven to 350F and spray a large casserole dish with non-stick spray.

2.     In a medium sauce melt butter and stir in flour, cook for 2-3 minutes and slowly whisk in milk and nutmeg. Stir constantly until thickened, set aside.

3.     Place 2/3 cup marinara in the casserole dish and spread around. Place one layer of frozen ravioli’s, cover with ½ of leftover sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.

4.     Repeat this layer and then cover with the Béchamel sauce.

5.     Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes, uncover and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

 Enjoy!!
