  • I was one of six soccer moms who were to make a lasagna dinner for our high school soccer team (40 girls). I did not want to take the time to make my regular lasagna recipe, so I decided to do an internet search and see what I could find. I came upon this recipe and decided to try it. Bake Ravioli was a hit! It was the first pan of food to go! Thanks for a great recipe!

  • This recipe was excellent, however for my personal taste I add a little more pasta sauce.

  • we tried the baked ravioli . it was great the kids and my husband who usually turns up his nose at pasta said it was great. and easy to make. thanks for the great recipe. we will be making this again in the near future.

  • Very good and so easy! I preferred a bit more pasta sauce, and added dash of crushed red pepper in between layers. I also baked for 40 minutes because frozen ravioli wasn’t heated through enough at 30 minutes. This will be great for an upcoming holiday potluck. Thank you!

  • I made the baked ravioli tonight and thought it was pretty good. I added a lot more sauce than the recipe called for and I did use the ground turkey which I seasoned with Italian seasonings and minced onion. It was very easy and would even make a meal suited for a casual dinner party and is portable which would make it great to take to new moms or new neighbors.

  • My family truly enjoyed this meal. I made a few minor changes. I browned some Bob Evan's hot and zesty sausage and some minced onions before I added a large jar of pasta sauce and spiced it up quite a bit (with your typical Italian spices). The result was most delicious. This is a keeper. Thanks a lot.

  • Wow! Did not know there actually was a recipe for such a dish, and here I was patting myself on the back, thinking I came up with a new dish. Just the other week I wanted to make something quick for dinner and since I had some cheese ravioli in the freezer and tomato sauce in the pantry, I decided to mix it all up and bake it. Basically, the process is similar. I cooked the ravioli, warmed up the tomato sauce and added in some sautéed onion, garlic and spices. I layered it with Italian Blend shredded cheese and topped with grated Parmesan. Baked until bubbly and slightly browned (took about 20 minutes) and garnished with chopped fresh parsley and some basil. I call this my Lazy Lasagna. :) My picky-eater husband who loves Italian food approved the dish. Next time I will try it with a different kind of ravioli and add meat/sausage as Robbie's recipe suggests. I bet it will be delicious. You can't go wrong with classic Italian ingredients! And just like lasagna, this will freeze well. Although, I doubt you'll have any leftovers.

  • We loved this dish! Much better than spaghetti casserole. I partially thawed the ravioli for a quicker bake time. I also added a few things while browning my hamburger such as minced garlic clove, fresh sliced mushrooms & a bit of basil. After draining & returning to heat I added the sauce & also parmesan cheese. Covered & simmered for about 10 minutes. Then prepared casserole. It was absolutely delicious!! Thanks for the great recipes.

  • Just tried the Baked Ravioli last night and it was a huge hit with the entire family-- which is unusual. I loved how easy and quick it was. I did add more sauce like many had said and I am glad that I did. Thank you for a meal that is now a permanent part of our menu!!

  • This was awesome! I used vegetarian faux ground beef and added layers of mushrooms and spinach. Per one of the other comments I backed it for 40 minutes instead of 30 and was greeted by praise from friends and family..
