The fun of this eye-catching recipe is that you can adapt it to whatever ravioli flavor and color you like. Use sun-dried tomato for a red rosette; try spinach for a holiday table.

| Yield: | 6 to 8 servings |
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- Three 9-ounce packages fresh round cheese, chicken or meat ravioli
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 12 ounces low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 12 small sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained (about 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to the package directions. Toss with the butter in a large bowl. Let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and toss to coat.
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 1/4 cup of the marinara on the bottom of the prepared dish. Standing the ravioli on their sides, shingle the pasta around the edge of the pie dish until you have completed a circle. Inside the ravioli circle, shingle alternating pieces of mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes until you have a second circle. Repeat the circles, alternating ravioli with the mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes, until the pie dish is filled. Curl a ravioli around a piece of mozzarella and tuck it in the center.
- Bake the pie until the mozzarella is melted and the pasta is slightly toasted, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes then slice and serve with the remaining marinara sauce.

This was hard to make the design
I did this recipe dish with stuff shells pasta. Excellent
Goood
I didn’t watch the video, just winged it. Mine isn’t as pretty but it still was impressive looking. I bought a nice Italian sauce because I was too lazy to make homemade.
The video calls for Sun Dried Tomato ravioli. I checked my local Publix, Kroger and Walmart and none of them carried it. So one star off for using a unique ingredient that isn’t carried in my local stores. If the ingredient was also expensive, I would have taken off another star for that. The written recipe calls for 3 9oz bags of round ravioli. That is easy to find, but they are white. There is nothing in the recipe about turning the white ravioli to red so following the directions results in a very pale dish. When I put the cooked ravioli in the pie dish they were slick and slid around. They certainly didn’t stay in place as easily as the video shows. Those two issues combine for the loss of another star.
Overall this is a good ravioli dish, basically packaged ravioli in your favorite sauce with sliced mozzarella and pieces of sun dried tomato. It’s the presentation that makes this special and unless you can find (afford) sun dried tomato ravioli and get the ravioli not to slide around, it won’t be as pretty as the video makes out, but your efforts will be appreciated and it will be eaten.
By far one of the most delicious and most beautiful pasta dishes I’ve ever made! I used a combination of 4 cheese asparagus ravioli (green) and butternut squash ravioli (orange) and it was gorgeous! For the marinara I used Newman’s Own “For The Common Good Organic Marinara”. This was super easy also. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Food Network for an amazing Valentines dinner❣️
This was a last minute idea for dinner and it did not disappoint. I made individual pies and they were a hit. Only thing I will do different next time is to add a little more sauce to the dish. This one is a keeper in my recipe file.
If you can read, this is an easy recipe to make. Looks pretty, much easier than it would seem.
This is beautiful,! Great Idea, I’m making it, I’ll make sure it tastes Good.!
Amazing!!!
