Baked Ravioli
FAQ
As a reminder – NEVER thaw fresh-frozen filled pasta like ravioli! It should be cooked directly from frozen (one less prep step!) For maximum flavor, cook your pasta to just shy of al dente and then finish cooking it by sautéing in the sauce it will be served in. Don't toss fresh pasta with oil!
If you choose to use frozen ravioli, you can skip the boiling step, and there's no need to thaw, but it takes about an hour to bake and has to be covered with foil for about half of that time. Either way, you'll have a delicious family meal on the table with minimal effort.
Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in frozen ravioli, making sure to coat them all in sauce, and bring back to a simmer. Cover and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking, or until ravioli are heated through.
Can you make ravioli ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the ravioli ahead of time (through Step 4), provided you cook and enjoy it later the same day. Once the ravioli is assembled, arrange it on a parchment-lined baking sheet dusted with a bit of flour.
Absolutely! If you would like to add extra toppings or cheese to the frozen baked spaghetti, you can do so during the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Sprinkle the desired toppings on top and let them melt and become golden brown.
