Baked Ravioli Recipe
Fried ravioli is a popular item on appetizer menus but I took this opportunity to make them not only fabulously delicious but healthier for you too!
Because, really, why deep fry in oil when you can bake in the oven and have your ravioli appetizer be so much healthier and even more delicious?
Store bought cheese ravioli transform into a crispy appetizer that’s perfect for any party or game day snack. No need to deep fry with greasy oil anymore.
Our baked cheese ravioli puffs up in the oven turning into a crispy pasta with a creamy cheese filling.
The additional of balsamic vinegar to jarred pizza sauce makes these bites perfectly pop-able and totally irresistible.
Be careful not to eat them all yourself because once you start dipping and popping you won’t want to stop!
