Meanwhile, cook cheese ravioli according to package instructions.
Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of 9 x 13-inch baking dish (if you want thicker layers, use a smaller pan). Layer half of the ravioli on top. Top with half of the sauce. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat. Finish off with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Loosely cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from foil and let bake for 5 minutes longer or until the cheese is completely melted. Top with fresh basil ribbons or arugula.
