Baked Ravioli with Corn, Bacon & Asparagus
One of our favorite easy dinners is a ravioli casserole
Fresh ravioli, a jarred sauce and a fresh vegetable or two~
So easy to throw together and
it can be made up to a day ahead of time
I’ve posted several versions of baked ravioli,
This one is very similar to Asparagus Alfredo Ravioli Bake
so I wasn’t planning to post this,
BUT!
It was so good I had to share it with you
I like to use Rana ravioli,
you can find it fresh in the refrigerated section
of your grocery store
For this casserole I combined Italian Sausage Ravioli
and Chicken & Roasted Garlic Ravioli
There are a lot of good Alfredo sauces available now
and for this recipe
I used Rao’s Homemade Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce
And because this recipe is all about easy,
I went with frozen Gold and White Corn
All you have to do is let it thaw then toss it in with the ravioli
Cook ravioli for slightly less time than the package directions,
it will continue to cook when the casserole is baked
{I cooked mine for 3 minutes rather than the suggested 4 minutes}
I usually cook bacon in the oven,
it’s easier than using a skillet
because you don’t have to stand there and turn it
I always cook a little extra too,
it’s handy to have on hand to add to a sandwich or salad
Cover the bottom of a casserole dish with a layer of sauce
Add drained ravioli
and add the thawed corn and bacon pieces
Stir to combine, then cover with remaining sauce
I wanted to keep this kid friendly so the boys would like it
so I served the asparagus on the side
Then a few nights later,
I was reheating the leftovers just for me
so I mixed the leftover asparagus in
with the leftover corn and bacon ravioli
I topped with it with grated Parmesan cheese
A very easy and delicious one dish meal!

Scrumptious! And easy cause it’s summertime!
Thanks Jenna!
So easy, but so good!
Bella e deliziosa
Thanks Bernadette!
Good morning, Jenna. This recipe will be added to my go-to pasta dishes. We love Rao sauces. How can it not be delicious with bacon and corn?! Happy Tuesday!!
This type of recipe is so good for days when you don’t have time or want to cook!
Love the corn here! I’m sure it adds a lovely sweetness.
Yes!
Yum!! This looks so good! I like easy, especially when I haven’t thawed something out for dinner. Pulling a few items into an easily baked main course sounds great. I think I’d substitute fresh and trimmed spinach in the dish for the corn, to increase the vegetable factor and reduce the carbs/
Yes, spinach would be good too, endless possibilities! Thanks Carole~
I’ve used Rana before (and oo-la-la, I’ve also made my own ravioli from scratch, but alas, it was as tough as an army cot! ) But I’ve never tried the chicken garlic version of Rana. Until my ravioli making skills are better, I’ll have to give it a try. It sure looks delicious in your recipe! Ciao!
I have found that Rana is consistently good~ I’ve never tried to make fresh pasta, I don’t have the patience for that but I sure admire you for trying!
Jenna, you are making me hungry. This ravioli recipe looks scrumptious. You always come up with the yummiest recipes! Thanks so much for sharing. Happy Tuesday!
Thanks so much Shannon, it’s so easy too!
It looks like a filling and delicious meal!
Thanks Angie!
Great, easy meal with a spring/summer vibe! Nice transition dish–Happy First Day of Summer on Wednesday!
Thank you Linda, yes Summer has arrived!
Creative – and perfect for summertime dinning!
Thanks Mary, Happy Summer!
Such a quick and easy meal for the lazy days of summer Jenna! Happy Weekend ♥
Yes, and I’m all about easy!
I found you on The House on Silverado. What a great idea. I would need to eliminate the corn as I’m allergic and make my own gluten free ravioli, which I do anyway.
Thank you Doreen, infinite possibilities for a dish like this!
OMGoodness this sounds so easy and incredibly delicious! I like easy for summertime or anytime for that matter! Another winner!
Thanks Kitty, yes so easy and so good!
This looks delicious, of course! I’ve never heard of Italian sausage ravioli so I’ll have to check that out. I’ve also never tried Rao’s Alfredo sauce, so there’s that too. Would you say its a better alfredo sauce than Classico? Bacon is a favorite here and I put asparagus in everything it seems, so what’s not to love? Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Kim! I like Classico too, so it’s hard to say one is better than the other. Rao’s is usually more expensive…I tend to put bacon and asparagus in everything too and I love it paired with corn. As for the ravioli, you can use any kind you want. The formula is simple, easy and always good!
