Baked Caprese Ravioli

Submitted by Chef Jean

"I served one jumbo ravioli as an appetizer, but serving two or three would make a good entree. The ravioli I used were about 2 inches in diameter, but I imagine you could use whatever size you can find."

We loved this! Quick and easy to prepare, with all of the wonderful caprese flavors! I used spinach and cheese ravioli and basil from the garden. Thanks for sharing! ZWT7

Simple and beautiful. I love that the tomato and basil bake on to the pasta and almost create a sauce. I used several cheese tortellini grouped together as that is what I had on hand. I also added minced garlic with the basil. Delightful and easy! Thanks Chef!

I loved these, but WOW did Buddha rave over them! We couldn't find the large round raviolis (my favorites too), so we went with regular frozen square ones and quartered the tomato slices. I was also out of fresh basil, so had to substitute with dried organic basil. I briefly broiled the tops before serving. We'll be making these again, thanks for posting. :)
