What to serve with baked ravioli casserole?
The delicious tomato sauce is so flavorful that you will want something to dip into that sauce. We love Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe and it is perfect for getting every last bit of that amazing sauce.
We often serve a simple salad with this meal. It is quick and easy!
You could also try Roasted Green Beans or learn how to steam broccoli in the microwave for a super easy veggie side dish.
We love to keep things simple around here so we can get dinner on the table fast.
How to freeze baked frozen ravioli:
This recipe freezes great. Instead of putting it in the oven, just cover with foil, label, and place in the freezer.
Then when you are ready to eat, allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight and bake covered according to the directions. It is that simple!
This is a great way to save time and money. It really isn’t anymore trouble to make another casserole and you will have dinner for another night.
I try to always have an easy and delicious meal like this in the freezer for busy weeknights. It is definitely a game changer!
You need a 9×13 dish to make baked ravioli casserole.
I use the disposable pans for the one I am freezing. It helps so much on those busy nights.
We have saved a ton of money by skipping take out and grabbing one of these delicious casseroles in the freezer. Plus, it tastes so much better.
It really does not take any longer to make two when you are making this recipe. I try to always double the recipe and freeze one for our family.
If you are making this for the freezer, do not bake in the oven. Prepare the casserole. Then allow to cool.
Cover and freeze. To reheat: allow to thaw overnight in fridge. Then bake.

Would this half to cook as long if the ravioli wasn’t frozen?
No, it wouldn’t need to cook as long if they are not frozen.
This is easy to assemble and toss in the oven as soon as you get home OR, my favorite, assemble the night before and throw in the oven as soon as you get home! Another one that saves us from fast food!
Do you put the other half of the cheese on top at the end, or for the whole bake time?
Karen – Sorry for the confusion. I put the remaining shredded cheese on top of the casserole prior to covering it with foil and prior to baking it for the entire time. I have updated the recipe to make it more clear. Thank you!
