4 Ingredient Baked Ravioli Recipe

I remember growing up and having ravioli in a can. Good old Chef Boyardee. The funny part is, I simply loved it. Then, as I got older, I had the opportunity to experience true Italian ravioli. Suddenly, gone were the days of Chef Boyardee, and sadly he had to throw in his apron. When I decided to make ravioli from scratch, it was laborious and time consuming but in the long run often worth the effort. Then I made up the simple four ingredient baked ravioli recipe and was shocked at the outcome. I never thought that somethings so simple could be so easy and delicious.

To make this recipe all you need is a bag of pre-made ravioli, a jar of spaghetti sauce, some grated cheese, and spinach. Of course, you can use the ingredients of your choice and the ones I have mentioned are interchangeable. Also feel free to spice the recipe up using the seasoning of your choice. For example, some Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and other types of seasoning would certainly not go amiss.

Ingredients

Servings

• 1 large bag of pre-made ravioli (I prefer veggie but it's your call.)
• 1 large jar of spaghetti sauce (Your choice)

1. Add a couple of tablespoons of spaghetti sauce to the bottom of a casserole dish. This stops the ravioli from sticking.

2. Add in the ravioli and spread it out evenly. Follow by adding the spinach, remaining spaghetti sauce, and cheese.

3. Place the ravioli in a 375°F or 190°C preheated oven for 20 minutes.

4. Remove it from the oven and garnish it with basil or parsley.

5. Serve your baked ravioli up with a garden salad and some Italian or French bread. As always, enjoy!

Note

I use the pre-made spinach and cheese ravioli. Just to keep it on the veggie side. You can, however, use any ravioli of your choice. A meat ravioli is often nice as well.

In terms of the cheese, I use the four mix Tex-Mex. Of course, you can use any cheese you like.

As for the spaghetti sauce, I just use a Jar of common spaghetti sauce. Often I'll use basil and garlic. You can, however, make it from scratch if you have time. I'd also like to add that you can season the sauce according to your liking. I'm just giving you the recipe to keep things as basic as possible. Some Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. certainly would not go amiss.
