| Yield: | 4 to 6 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, at room temperature
- 7 ounces basil pesto
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- One 16-ounce ball frozen pizza dough, thawed
- Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray, for baking dish
- Two 13-ounce bags frozen cheese, pesto or mushroom filled ravioli (about 20 ravioli), no thawing necessary
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 ounces Parmesan cheese flakes
- Torn fresh basil, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Whisk together the heavy cream, pesto, flour, red chile flakes, 1/2 cup warm water and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half and roll each half to make a rope about 3/4-inch-thick. Cut each rope in to 4 equal parts. Twist each piece into a knot, making 8 knots.
- Spray a large oval baking dish or large deep-dish pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour a third of the sauce into the bottom of the dish. Layer with half of the ravioli in a single layer. Top with another third of the sauce, then layer with the remaining ravioli and top with the remaining sauce.
- Place the knots along the inside edge of the pan, on top of the ravioli. Spray the knots with the cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic salt.
- Bake until the garlic knots are a rich golden brown and the pasta sauce is bubbly, 40 to 50 minutes. Top with Parmesan and torn basil if using.

I was afraid this would be too rich so I used 1/2 & 1/2 in place of the heavy cream, maybe I needed to add add’l flour cuz the end result was VERY liquidy. It was still tasty but more like a baked soup! The garlic knots were perfect, I basted with melted butter then sprinkled the garlic powder & sea salt & baked at 375 for 30 mins so the knots would not burn. I would make again after I figure out how to correct the liquid end product
Oh my it is so delicious and so easy! I love ravioli and the combo of the cream/pesto, crushed pepper is perfect!! A total comfort dish and super easy to make. I did make my knots out of pizza dough and added them to the dish the last 15 minutes, then brushed them with butter, garlic and red pepper and it all turned out perfect. This recipe is a keeper!!
I’ve made this recipe several times, and it’s sooo good! Everyone loves it! I use real garlic and butter to smother the knots , but otherwise , I just fallowed the recipe! Easy and yummy!
Cooked on 350 for 40 mins then turned up to 400 for last 10 minutes. Perfect tortellini and knots.
This is going to be a staple from now on. Ridiculously simple and flavorful. Only difference I did was spinach and cheese ravioli. Tonight im going to try just cheese ravioli and replace the pesto sauce w/ marinara sauce w/ meat 🙂
Soooo good. Wonderful comfort food. The kids asked for it again. I used lobster ravioli and brushed olive oil and sprinkled oregano, Parmesan and granulated garlic on the knots.
Great recipe. My husband and I loved it and will certainly make it again. The knots were a little overdone on top but not so much that I would take a star away.
