BAKED SPINACH RAVIOLI with PEPPERONI

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Spinach and cheese ravioli
  • 1 jar marinara sauce
  • garlic powder
  • Italian seasoning
  • pepperoni slices [optional leave these out if you want to go meatless or substitute cooked and crumbled sausage]
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Simmer marinara sauce with some healthy dashes of garlic powder and Italian seasoning for about 30-60 minutes to develop flavor if you have time.  If you don't, just use the marinara straight from the jar, adding seasoning.
  • Lay pepperoni slices on a double layer of paper towels and cover with another towel.  Microwave for 20 seconds and blot well with towels to absorb grease.
  • Boil pasta 2 minutes and drain.
  • Put a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of prepared baking dish and top with a layer of ravioli.  Top with pepperoni slices and sprinkle with cheese.  Repeat layers.  Refrigerate up to 24 hours.  Bake covered at 325 for 30 minutes.  Uncover and continue baking 15-30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
