Take-out Tuesday Rainbow Ravioli Bake
I named this Rainbow Ravioli
because not only is does the ravioli have a pretty orange stripe,
the dish is full of rainbow of vegetables
I had a package of asparagus ravioli in my freezer
and decided to pair it with a medley of fresh vegetables
and bake it like a casserole
You can use any flavor or type of pasta for this recipe,
tortellini, spaghetti, penne
and any combo of vegetables you want…
I used asparagus, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms
and butternut squash noodles
I also added ham to make it heartier
This is an easy dish to prepare,
but there are a few steps to take before assembly
Cut the stems of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half
Put them on a parchment lined baking sheet,
drizzle with olive oil and season
Roast for 25-30 minutes until they begin to char
Remove sprouts from paper
and put the butternut squash noodles on the same paper
and toss them around in the remaining oil
and seasonings left from the sprouts
and put the noodles in the oven to roast for 6 minutes
While the vegetables are roasting,
saute the mushrooms until they are golden
Remove the mushrooms and add the ham to the skillet
and cook for a few minutes to brown
Break off tough ends of asparagus
Rinse, wrap in a towel and microwave for 2 minutes on high
Immediately unwrap to prevent further cooking and cut them into 1 inch pieces
Boil the pasta according to package directions
I prefer to use fresh refrigerated pasta,
it not only tastes better than dried, it cooks in 4-5 minutes
Now everything is prepped so all that’s left is assembly
Put a layer of sauce into the bottom of a prepared casserole dish
Begin layering by putting ravioli on top of sauce {I forgot to take a photo}
then adding the roasted Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and asparagus
Next top the vegetables with the butternut squash noodles
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over all and cover with Parmesan
At this point you can refrigerate the dish for baking later
Bake covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then uncover
and continue to bake for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbling
Dig in!

Notes
I have made many casseroles using ravioli,
and I think this is the best one yet!
It’s a wonderful combination of flavors, color and textures
If you have leftovers, it reheats well
Here are a few other versions:
Magical Pasta Meal features some of the same ingredients, but has bacon instead of ham, and corn, onions, tortellini and pesto
The Crazy Italian is spinach ravioli with spinach, Italian sausage, marinara sauce and pepperoni
Deli Sandwich Ravioli Bake has ravioli, ham, salami, mozzarella and Parmesan
Spinach Ravioli Alfredo with Chicken and Asparagus has fresh spinach, asparagus, chicken and bacon
Vegetable Ravioli with Italian Sausage and Basil Cream
Fall is just around the corner,
time to think comfort food!

Jenna, I want to come to your house for dinner. You make the most delicious looking dishes. This ravioli recipe looks scrumptious! Thanks for sharing! Happy Tuesday!
Aw, thanks Shannon, with so many tasty vegetables it’s almost a not guilty pasta dinner 🙂
What a lovely dish! And yet another used for all the bounty in the garden right now!
Thank you Dorothy, it was really good!
Jenna, this looks delicious. I agree with Shannon, I want to come to your house for dinner.
We have rain this morning from Fred. Thankful it is only a rain event!
Thank you Pam! I can’t believe how Fred’s track changed so much, Orange Beach didn’t even get any rain! I was so sure we were going to have a rainy day yesterday I made a big pot of slow cooker potato soup for dinner 😂 but we never got a drop here…
Yummy…a foodie rainbow 🌈 on a plate!
Thanks Kitty, it is really good!
I would love to try that ravioli, very pretty! Sounds great:@)
Thanks Lynn, the orange stripe really makes a pretty presentation and it’s quite tasty too!
Wow, sounds great and looks so easy to make. thanks Jenna
Thank you Patty Anne, I love dishes I can make early in the day and then pop in the oven later for dinner.
This looks scrumptious! You are quite the creative cook! A perfect way to use garden veggies. And it’s so colorful.
Happy Tuesday!
Thank you Nancy, very yummy!
I keep these pastas in my freeze too. Love the way you dressed this dish up with fresh veggies. Looks delicious Jenna…………
Thank you Emily, we ate it 2 nights in a row!
This looks like something I’d eat again and again! I’ve been cooking my Brussel sprouts in my air fryer and love how they turn out. This is the perfect recipe to toss them into! Thanks for another winner-dinner!
Thanks Leslie Anne, we did eat this 2 nights in a row! I got an air fryer about 5 years ago, and after experimenting with it for about a month, both my son and I decided to take it back because we weren’t happy with any of the results. I’m sure they have improved over time, your liking your Brussels sprouts makes me think maybe I should try an air fryer again, what kind/brand do you have?
You make the most yummy, mouth watering meals ever! I love all the recipes you share. Hugs and blessings Jenna. Cindy
Thanks so much Cindy!
Another good one, Jenna. And Ravioli is always a hit!
Thanks Jeanie, with so many veggies it was really tasty!
I always cook my asparagus in the microwave with a little water, I’m definitely go to try your way of just using paper towels. Love all the veggies you added to this dinner.
Thank you Karen, this was a tasty combo!
Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party – enjoy your weekend.
