Why This Recipe Works

Baked Ravioli Alfredo is quick and easy to make. It also requires minimal prep, so it’s a great last-minute meal.

This recipe is just 5 ingredients. All you need is your choice of frozen or fresh ravioli, your favorite Alfredo sauce, roasted garlic, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.

It’s a versatile dish which can be vegetarian depending on the type of ravioli you choose to use. You can also add meat, use gluten free ravioli, or mix in spinach, peas, and sun-dried tomatoes for added vegetables.

How To Make Ravioli Alfredo

Ingredients

Ingredients needed to make ravioli alfredo on a white background with labels

  • Ravioli: frozen or fresh can be used, but you will need to reduce the bake time when using fresh pasta. You can use gluten free ravioli.
  • Alfredo Pasta Sauce: your favorite jarred sauce or homemade sauce can be used. 
  • Roasted Garlic: you can follow this tutorial on How To Roast Garlic, or you can use a roasted garlic Alfredo sauce. I personally feel that freshly roasted garlic really takes this dish to a whole new level. It reminds me of a dish you’d get in an Italian restaurant. You can roast the garlic ahead of time, if needed.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: I prefer to use fresh mozzarella, but you can use pre-shredded cheese, if you like.
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Parsley: optional garnish

The full recipe and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Prep!

If you don’t have roasted garlic on hand already, you will want to roast it first and allow it to cool enough to be handled.

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Chef’s Tip: to brown the cheese, place the casserole under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
