Baked Parmesan Ravioli

My four-year-old loved helping me make these baked ravioli. They’re so simple, just a few easy steps, and they were gone in less than 5 minutes! I love that they’re easy enough to make with her by my side, creating recipes and memories together. (Do you see that little hand in the last picture? That’s my sweet four-year-old assistant!) We loved them so much, we had to double the batch last time. For another fun twist, try my crispy toasted ravioli too!

We also made these for a family game night, and they were a huge hit. These baked ravioli work perfectly as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. They’re great for dipping and finger food fun, but you can also dress them up for dinner. However you serve them, they’re quick, addicting, and bake up to golden, cheesy perfection every time.

Marinara sauce is a tomato sauce, usually made with tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and onions. Its many variations can include the addition of capers, olives, spices, and a dash of wine. This sauce is widely used in Italian-American cuisine.

What Does Marinara Sauce Taste Like?

Real marinara sauce has the taste and juice of fresh tomato, but also a velvety texture and the rich bite of olive oil: even the best jarred sauces can’t pull that off. … The trick to perfect marinara is to cook it at a vigorous simmer, so that the tomatoes are cooked through just as the sauce becomes thick.
