Take-out Tuesday, Summer Breeze Ravioli Casserole with Corn, Snow Peas and Ham

the Painted Apron

4 years ago

Here’s another dump and go, one dish meal

that is perfect for busy days

and with corn and bright green snow peas

it’s summer in a bowl~

Make, bake and enjoy!

This is also a clean out the refrigerator type dish…

I thought I had much more Alfredo sauce than I did,

hmmm…

so I grabbed a can of creamed corn from the pantry

to use as additional sauce… it was perfect!!

The creamed corn was a great compliment to the corn ravioli

fresh snow peas, sausage ravioli and ham

You could also use cooked chicken, bacon

or skip meat altogether and substitute the sausage ravioli

with cheese ravioli or tortellini

First cook the ravioli al dente {until just done}

I love using fresh pasta because it cooks in under 5 minutes

If using ham, give it a quick saute in a skillet

to render any fat and to give it a little color

Cook the snow peas,

I get the kind that are already cleaned,

you can microwave them right in the bag

and they are done in less than 2 minutes

Drain the ravioli and put in in a casserole dish and top it with Alfredo

Then add the creamed corn, ham and snow peas

Stir to combine

Add a generous topping of cheese,

I used Gruyère and shaved Parmesan

At this stage you can cover it and refrigerate for baking later

Try to remove it from the refrigerator

for 30-60 minutes before baking if possible

Bake it covered for the first 30 minutes,

then remove cover and continue to bake

for 15-25 minutes or until hot and bubbling

Serve it up and enjoy!
