Any night is a good excuse for pasta night! Whether it's penne pasta, spaghetti, or lasagna, there's just something so comforting about pasta recipes. It's one of Ree Drummond's favorite food groups and an all-around crowd-pleaser for Sunday night supper. But if you're looking to switch up your typical noodle dish, we've come up with some great ideas for ravioli recipes that will make pasta night all the more comforting.
In case you didn't know, ravioli is a type of pasta that's stuffed with various fillings, including cheese, spinach, and even pumpkin puree! You can make your own ravioli from scratch with pasta dough or try Ree's easy trick for making ravioli using wonton wrappers. "They are wonderful and miraculous and while they don't fall under the category of "fine artisan pasta dough," they sure provide a fast way to get "homemade" ravioli in your mouth as soon as humanly possible," she says. Another supermarket hack that we're not afraid of using? Store-bought ravioli. You can doctor them up for a quick and easy weeknight dinner—cheesy baked ravioli, toasted ravioli, and herby buttered mushroom ravioli are just some ideas to get you started.
