I think Ravioli Bakes might be my new favorite dinner. I don’t know why…they just seem so easy. Well, they are easy.

The ravioli doesn’t take any pre-cooking. You just add it into the dish, pour the sauce (in this case a beefy-spaghetti sauce) over the top, then pile on as much cheese as your waistline can handle. 😉 Then, bake.

And you end up with this.

Now, there is one thing that I didn’t mention in that directions sentence up there.

You need to pour in 1 cup of hot water around the edges of the baking dish. The ravioli will soak up that water, as well as some of the water from the sauce and the baked result is perfect.

As you can see here………
