Recipe Tips

No need to thaw frozen ravioli
Add a layer of spinach or cooked ground beef for extra protein
Try half marinara + half alfredo for a pink sauce twist
Let it rest before slicing-helps it hold together better

Variations and Substitutions

Use Alfredo - or half marinara, half Alfredo for creamy tomato sauce
Add ground beef or sausage - brown first, then layer with sauce
Add veggies - baby spinach, zucchini, mushrooms
Cheese upgrades - try ricotta, Italian blends, or spicy pepper jack
