    I was excited to see how to make these...until I saw that you use ravioli to make ravioli? :/ Bummer.

  3. April says:

    AWESOME!! Can't wait to try it~ I'm sure my family will enjoy!

  4. The Allen Family says:

    Yum! Love easy, quick dinners! Pinned it. :)
    And on a different note, I've been a follower for a very long time but just found out tonight that your dad is my Stake President. SO cool! (I think he's more than amazing! :)

  5. Alexandra DeFranco says:

    Do you thaw the raviolis before cooking them? or can i do everything frozen?

  6. Sheri Conant says:

    I made a small batch of these tonight to test them out. I had beef frozen raviolis in the freezer. It was a spur of the moment decision to make them to go with dinner, so I thawed the raviolis briefly in the microwave before I started since the recipe called for refrigerated raviolis. I mixed a little bit of panko bread crumbs with the italian bread crumbs and parmesan. They were extra crispy and yummy! I think we'll try them with cheese raviolis another time. Thank you for the idea.

  7. Six Sisters says:

    Hi Alexandra!

    I used raviolis that were refrigerated, but if you use frozen ones, I would thaw them beforehand. Hope you like it!

  8. Sinea says:

    Our family loves going to Olive Garden for dinner. When we do, the fried ravioli with sauce is one of our favorite appetizers. I've always wished I knew how to make them at home. Now I do! Thank you. :)

    Oooh, thank you for this! I made these little wonders tonight and they turned out just great - puffed and crispy and yummy...mmmmm, mmmmm! I love toasted ravioli but hated frying them and never did anyway because of the fat and calories. Now I have an easy and low-cal alternative. Btw, I used thawed frozen beef ravioli. Thanks again!

    These are cooking right now! They look sooooo yummy! I ended up using a large frozen bag (all I had) and I cooked them stove top enough to thaw and then continued the recipe! I hope they turn out as good as they look! :)

  14. Six Sisters says:

    I have never tried thawing frozen ravioli, but I don't think it will be a problem as long as it is cooked all the way through when you are baking it! We also have a recipe that uses frozen ravioli if she is interested: http://sss.tbndevelopment.com/2011/06/easy-ravioli-and-cheese-bake.html

  15. Jody says:

    These smelled delicious while baking, but turned out really dry and not very tasty. I followed the recipe to the letter, and was disappointed since everyone else had great reviews.

  16. raven says:

    why use raviolis from the store when you could make them and wondering if it was possible to use homemade raviolis instead

  17. Cyd says:

    Homemade should work. We have only made as the recipe directs. :)

  18. Prairie Wife says:

    I made these for my kiddos and they really liked it. I used the leftovers in the red sauce for lunch for the big kids the next day. I would recommend using larger ravioli rather than small, the small ones were a little drier that I would have liked. Thanks for the fun finger food idea!prairiewifeinheels.com

  19. Johanne says:

    Stupid question... But do you need to boil the raviolis first?

  20. Cyd says:

    No you don't need to boil the raviolis first.

  21. Krysta says:

    I made these the other night and I was so disappointed because they looked SO good. I don't think it was the recipe though, I think it was the ravioli I chose. I purchased small square Bertoli refrigerated ravioli from my grocery store and followed the directions to a T but they weren't that great. We ate them, but I probably wouldn't make them again unless I tried a different brand ravioli.

  22. Kim says:

    I would like to make them a day before for a party we are hosting. Have you stored them fresh or frozen? What is the best way. Also, can they be served at room temp.

  23. Cyd says:

    Make them the day before and store them in the fridge until ready to cook. We like them warm. Room temp is probably ok, but warm is best.
