Baked Ravioli

Submitted by Shawn C

"This is a great kid pleaser and a nice healthy meal my husband can throw together when I am at work. I use Barilla Marinara sauce and frozen ravioli when I am in a hurry. My next attempt will be with fresh marinara and crab stuffed ravioli! Mmm!"

This is a dish I think I will be eating at least once a week!!! I followed the recipe, and it was wonderful!! I did up the cheese though, but I used low fat stuff. Next time I think i will add some brocolli and fresh mushrooms in. Thank you for this wonderful recipe! it is out of this world!

This is very delicious! I did kick it up a notch though. I added hamburger,mushrooms and basil seasoning,and red pepper flakes and I used the meat ravioli cause that is what I had on hand. It was so delicious!I made steamed broccoli and had lefted over Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe #89684 that I made yesterday to go along with this dish. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
