Breaded Baked Ravioli

Baked Ravioli is coated in buttermilk then breaded with Italian seasoned bread crumbs, corn meal and parmesan cheese. These lightly crispy ravioli are perfect as an entree or appetizer served with marinara sauce for dipping.

Crispy breading makes everything better. Even ravioli!

Or maybe I should say especially Ravioli! This baked cheese ravioli recipe turns ordinary store bought ravioli into a restaurant quality dish.

SAVE THIS BAKED RAVIOLI TO YOUR FAVORITE PINTEREST BOARD!

I can’t believe how easy it is to make crispy ravioli without deep frying. These came out beautifully golden brown with the aromatic flavor of the Italian herbs front and center. Bite into the crispy exterior to get a perfect mouthful of the tender pasta shell and lots of gooey cheese.

My favorite part? Baked ravioli are ready to eat in about 30 minutes!

What do I need?

You can make jaw-droppingly tasty oven baked ravioli with just a few ingredients:

• Cheese ravioli – I used a package of frozen ravioli, thawed in the fridge overnight.
• Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• Buttermilk – Homemade buttermilk substitute works too! Just use ½ cup of regular milk, add 1 ½ teaspoons of white vinegar to it. Stir and then let sit for 15 minutes before stirring again and using.
• Yellow cornmeal
• Parmesan cheese – Freshly grated, not the shaker kind.

Serve the baked ravioli with your favorite homemade or store bought marinara sauce.

Can you bake frozen ravioli?

Frozen ravioli is delicious baked, provided it’s thawed first. Take it out of the freezer a few hours ahead of time and let it thaw in the fridge.

To make breaded ravioli, I dipped each ravioli in buttermilk, then a mixture of cornmeal, breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. After about 12 minutes in the oven, they were perfectly crispy and ready to eat!

So easy and delicious.
