Recipe Notes about Frozen Ravioli
Because I do not bother to make my own ravioli, I have become an expert at buying frozen ravioli. The number one lesson is buy quality. That is to say, less expensive budget ravioli does not cook or taste as good as quality ravioli. Second, buy cheese (not meat) ravioli. Generally, food companies (even the good ones) tend to use low quality meat. Rely on freshly purchased meat for better flavor and less chemicals.

Easy Bake Ravioli
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Italian sausage ( loose )
- 1 can petite diced tomatoes ( 14.5 oz )
- 1 can tomato paste ( small - 6 oz )
- 2 clove garlic ( minced )
- 1 medium onion ( minced )
- 1 tbsp oregano flakes
- 1 tbsp parsley flakes
- 12 oz frozen ravioli ( see note below )
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook onions, garlic, and loose sausage. Cook until well done. When cooking the meat, leave sausage in larger chunks. When finished, set aside.
- Mix petite tomatoes and paste in a bowl. Add some water to thin it out. Blend mixture until consistent.
- Boil frozen ravioli until half to three quarters done. Drain and set aside. Stir in a little olive oil to keep ravioli noodles from sticking together.
- In a baking dish, add tomato mixture, ravioli, oregano and parsley. Stir until noodles are well coated. Add 2 oz shredded cheese and sausage. Mix thoroughly.
- Top with 6 oz of shredded cheese and bake at 350 F for 20 - 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve hot on plates. Optionally, top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Annie, the cheese looks perfect. I want to sit right down and grab a big spoonful. Thanks for the tips on frozen ravioli.
You’re right. The thick layer of cheese makes all the difference. My family barely left a spoonful for me. LOL.
