Americans love going out to dinner. One place many of us love is Olive Garden! They have the most amazing salad and entrees. While that is great, one of our families’ favorites is their toasted ravioli. Serious yum!
Since we too don’t eat at restaurants but once a week, I’ve been left to find ways to make some of our favorite dishes at home. We absolutely love Olive Garden cheese ravioli that is breaded and toasted. There is nothing quite like it.
You don’t have to be a chef to make this appetizer. The trick is starting with frozen ravioli! Shhh!!! Don’t tell anyone the secret. It really does not get much easier than that.
If you can dip food into a bowl and turn on an oven, you can make toasted ravioli. You’ll get all the flavor without having to leave home.
We’ve had these a snack when watching sports and even with our meals. One night, I made a batch of these and re-created an Olive garden salad with their dressing and my family was thrilled!
