Thanks for this recipe. I was super rushed for time and did not make the sauce as directed- I just used plain canned sauce so the taste was a little on the plain side- which is why I did not rate it as I'm sure if I followed your directions it would have had a little more zip. I love how easy this recipe was and it makes a ton. I also added a layer of baby spinach and sliced mushrooms and they cooked up perfectly. I am super happy to find this recipe and to know how to use the frozen raviolis in this way. Next time I am going to make up the sauce as you directed, but will only use one bag of ravioli and will use more veggies. Thanks for posting this!
