These Ravioli Recipes Will Fancy Up Your Pasta Night
We're all about home cooking from scratch. Fresh biscuits and sausage gravy, cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving, and a stunning layer cake to finish off Christmas supper are a must. But on your average busy weeknight, dinner often starts with store-bought shortcuts like a box of pasta, a bag of rice, or a rotisserie chicken. These ravioli recipes are proof that store-bought can taste homemade. Fresh tomatoes, veggies, and some dressed-up pasta sauce can quickly take refrigerated ravioli and make it feel five-star. Instead of building lasagna with classic wide noodles, we recreated it with cheese ravioli for a totally indulgent baked pasta that the whole family will love. If you're intimidated by homemade pasta but don't want to buy a bag at the market, our Pumpkin Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter is just the ticket. We used wonton wrappers instead of fussy pasta dough for an elegant dinner that's actually easy to put together. With these cheesy ravioli recipes, everyone at the table will be full and happy.
