Baked Ravioli

This dish is crazy easy and crazy good. If you enjoy cheesy pasta recipes and want something you can whip together in no time, then try this. Living with a carnivore like I do, I had to add meat to this...but if you want to cut back on the prep work, you can leave the meat out all together but still have a filling meal. It's simple to make as much or as little as you like...it freezes well after it's put together or you could make two at once and give one away. This would be great to serve for a potluck or a big family meal. Just add a salad and some bread and you're good to go!
