This Baked Beef Ravioli is a great make-ahead dinner recipe!

HERO IAK BAKED RAVIOLI 3

Don’t you just love pasta? I do. I love it so much that we have it for dinner at least once a week. Well… that was until I made a New Year’s Resolution to eat less carbohydrates. That resolution lasted until this week.

This week I started craving comfort food. For me that means pasta. Especially pasta covered in cheese. This Baked Ravioli is an easy semi-homemade dinner that features simple ingredients including premade refrigerated pasta that makes it possible for you to have this meal ready for your family in forty minutes.

If you’re like me you may have never bought refrigerated pasta. Now that I’ve tried it I’m completely hooked. It’s so easy to prepare and it has a much fresher flavor than traditional dried pasta.

For this recipe you will use cheese filled ravioli that will be combined with a meat sauce and then covered in Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Are you hungry yet?

The meat sauce for this recipe is one of the simplest I’ve ever made. As I said before this is a semi-homemade recipe and that means EASY.  If you can work a can opener you can make this sauce.  You’ll just need to combine a can of condensed tomato soup and crushed tomatoes with cooked ground beef and Italian Seasoning.

I feel like the key to any great Italian meal is the seasoning. Probably the most common flavor associated with Italian food is garlic. This recipe calls for quite a bit of it actually (4-6 cloves minced) but it also calls for another great spice that you should have in your pantry if don’t already Italian Seasoning.

Italian Seasoning is a blend of eight dried herbs. They are Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, Marjoram, Sage, Thyme, and Savory. Together they create that rich flavor that most of us think of when we think about tradition Italian style foods.  If you don’t have Italian seasoning I’ve used a half a teaspoon of Oregano and a half of teaspoon of Basil to make this recipe. The flavor was nearly identical. Of course if your in a real hurry you can use a half a jar of your favorite Marinara Sauce.

I told you this was EASY recipe. Acutally I think it’s one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made I hope you and your family love this recipe as much as mine does. If you like this recipe you might like these for Creamy Chicken Farfalle or Rotel Chicken Pasta on my blog New South Charm. I’ll be back soon with another great recipe.

Happy Cooking!
