Ravioli Lasagna

Serves 8-10

Ingredients:

Marinara Sauce:

4 lbs tomatoes, quartered

1 large onion cut, into wedges all the same size

6 whole cloves garlic, unpeeled

Olive oil

2 Tbls tomato paste

1 tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

2 Tbls fresh oregano, chopped

2 Tbls fresh basil, chopped

1- 4 lbs bag of frozen ravioli (preferably the kind from Sam’s – you will have extra to use for another use)

2 Cups mozzarella

Directions:

1. Place tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves on a jelly-roll pan. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until tomatoes pucker and onions look translucent.

2. Allow tomatoes mixture to cool before blending in a blender. Once ready to blend remove the skin from the garlic cloves and place them in the blender. In batches, add tomatoes and onions along with pan juices to the blender and blend until smooth. Place tomato mixture in pot on the stove and add the tomato paste and herbs. Adjust seasoning to taste and heat to warm. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

3. Prepare a 9X13 baking dish with cooking spray. Pour a small amount of sauce in the bottom of the pan. Place a layer of frozen ravioli across the bottom of the pan, spread more sauce over ravioli and sprinkle about 1/3 cup of mozzarella over the sauce covered ravioli. Repeat with 2 more layers and finish the dish with remaining sauce on top and remaining cheese. Bake covered with aluminum foil for 1 hour. Remove foil after 1 hour and cook ravioli for an additional 5-10 min.
