Grease or spray with cooking spray a 9 x 13 or similar size foil pan or freezer safe ceramic baker.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef, breaking into crumbles with spoon. Drain fat as needed. To the beef, add the garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder and marinara sauce.. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook 5 minutes until heated thru and flavors are blended.
Spread 1/3 of meat mixture in the bottom of prepared pan. Top with 1/2 of the raviolis, laying out in a single layer. Top with another 1/3 of the meat mixture and one-half each of the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Repeat the layers of ravioli, then meat sauce, ending with the cheeses and parsley.
Cover pan with foil, sealing edges then wrap completely in plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 3 months.
