Baked Ravioli with Corn, Bacon & Asparagus

the Painted Apron

3 years ago

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!
