So this past weekend I officially became the best neighbor ever, mostly because of this Baked Ravioli.

Simple + Easy Baked Ravioli Recipe


 

A bit of backstory first… because of What’s Gaby Cooking and the insane amount of recipes that come out of my kitchen on a daily basis, I’m ALWAYS giving away food to my neighbors and making my husband bring things into work. Always. Without fail, come Monday morning, Thomas has about 2 kinds of sweet treats to bring into the office and my neighbors are loaded up with goodies as well.

Well, recently, one of my neighbors had a baby! She’s as cute as a button and I already love her! Being the good neighbor that I am (obviously), I’ve been bringing them dinners here and there to help because I’m fairly certain they are sleep derived. I mean, if it were me, I’d want some hot meals on the table every once in a while!

Baked Ravioli Recipe

The name of the game for this has been anything that they can freeze and then re-heat when they are ready for a home cooked meal. Most recently… Baked Ravioli! Made with frozen ravioli this dish is one serious comfort meal. Plus it's easy to whip up since there really isn't any crazy prep work involved. The frozen ravioli is cooked and then doused in a tomato Parmesan sauce and then baked with a heaping serving of fresh mozzarella on top. It really can’t be beat.

  1. I made this for dinner tonight. It was great, thanks Gaby! I used Rao's Roasted Garlic marinara sauce because Rao's is the best store bought sauce and it was on sale. The house smelled so good! I'll be making this next time I bring a dinner to a friend. Great idea.
