WHAT TO SERVE WITH RAVIOLI CASSEROLE
I always enjoy a light salad or roasted vegetables to balance the heaviness of pasta dishes. My breadcrumb Caesar salad is paired great with this dish. Garlic bread or breadsticks are also my go-to with pasta.
If you’re looking for an appetizer to go with this meal, you can’t go wrong with tomato and basil bruschetta.
CAN YOU FREEZE RAVIOLI CASSEROLE
Yes, this dish can be frozen both before or after it’s cooked.
If you plan to freeze before cooking, simply prepare the layers in a casserole dish, wrap in plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for another time. Store it for up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
To freeze it after it’s been cooked, allow it to fully cool. Then wrap it in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.
HOW TO REHEAT RAVIOLI CASSEROLE
When you’re ready to heat it up, remove it from the freezer and allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
