PASTA– The star of the dish is of course, ravioli. You can choose whichever filling you’d like for your stuffed pasta. We use deli fresh ravioli, but you can use freezer ravioli as well. Let it thaw to room temperature before beginning the recipe.

BREADING– To create the crumb on top of the pasta we’re using flour and Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. These two ingredients create a lovely golden brown topping with a light crunch.
