I was never a fan of ravioli as a child, especially that canned crap. As an adult, I absolutely love the stuff especially if it’s homemade but frozen suits me just fine! This baked ravioli recipe has to be one of my toddler’s favorite meals.

I like it because it’s quick and easy. Something I can throw together and still have it come out tasting like a time-consuming, homemade meal. Not to mention it soothes my beastly craving for homemade lasagna. (which is exactly what it tastes like to me)

One thing I love about baked ravioli (besides it being so cute & fun to eat) is that it is so versatile. Sometimes I add in a layer of spinach & spicy sausage to give it a lil pizzaz.  I’ve even used the chicken stuffed ravioli with success.

This baked ravioli would be a great dish to make for last-minute company or to take to a potluck. You could even get the veggie stuffed ravioli & make it a completely vegetarian recipe. It also freezes like a champ! Uh! Gotta love it! If only men could be this accommodating…. ;  )
