Straightforward Baked Ravioli for the Table

For my quite last post of 2017, I thought we’d go out in style with a especially straightforward and ridiculously flavor-packed recipe: Crispy Baked Ravioli in partnership with Three Bridges.

I’m using their Butternut Squash Ravioli and their Kale and Cheese Ravioli for this method but they have a full line of premium refrigerated pastas (including SO MANY standout ravioli options that would all work great for this method) and sauces made with simple, honest and better-for-you ingredients. Their pastas are on my shopping list pretty much every single week because inevitably, there’s at least one night each week where we need dinner in a pinch. “In a pinch” for us means that neither Mr. Britnell nor I feel like making dinner but we’re both starving. In this situation (which- again- is weekly), I boil the water for the Three Bridges ravioli and Mr. B throws together a short salad (typically Caesar because I’m obsessed). The pasta is topped with a simple sauce and a bit of cheese and we always feel like we’re eating a gourmet meal that took us an hour to cook.

Needless to say, I’m a pretty big fan:)

While A regular here their raviolis served traditionally with a bit of sauce, I thought we’d try something a bit different today with these Crispy Baked Ravioli. I wanted a fun way to serve the raviolis as a finger food for parties and most importantly at TAILGATES! I’ve been truly into football this year (cheering simultaneously for the Titans AND the Packers) and am therefore planning a rather large Truly Bowl party. Truly, I simply want an excuse to have a bunch of friends over and serve them lots of good food.

Making these Unfussy Baked Ravioli is truly simple since Three Bridges has done the hard work for us. First the ravioli is dipped in a bowl of flour. Next dip the ravioli in an egg wash bowl, and then finally in a good mix of breadcrumbs and spices. They’re then lined up on a baking sheet and popped in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. AND that’s it! Unfussy enough, right?

For tailgating, these would be dependable served with a variety of sauces. I’m planning on some familiar tomato sauce as well as a familiar pesto sauce but I also think that these would be especially tasty fondue style- dipped in CHEESE!

A bit more about Three Bridges because I know you’re now dying to get your hands on some:D Three Bridges products contain no artificial ingredients, flavors, and
colors, and no preservatives, fillers or hormones. I’ve found them at my local Fresh Market store but you can also find them at natural food and grocery retailers nationwide including Target, Safeway, and Raley’s.

I hope you have a pleasing new year! I’ve got LOTS of exciting things planned for the New Year and I’m so particularly excited to jump in!
