Baked Ravioli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme or oregano
- 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 pounds ravioli
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the thyme and tomatoes.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon, until the sauce is thickened and reduced to about 5 1/2 cups, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water just until they float to the top (the pasta will continue to cook in the oven).
- Drain the pasta; return to the pot.
- Toss the sauce with the pasta.
- Pour the pasta into a large gratin dish or 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and sprinkle with the cheeses.
- Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cool slightly before serving.
- Try this recipe with a pound of spaghetti (cook a few minutes less than the package instructions direct).
- Dont worry if it seems like theres too much sauce; it will be absorbed as the pasta bakes.
