- Choose the right ravioli: Fresh or frozen ravioli can be used for this recipe, but fresh ravioli will cook more quickly. If using frozen ravioli, thaw them completely before baking.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The combination of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses gives this dish a rich and flavorful filling. You can also experiment with other types of cheeses, such as fontina, Gruyère, or Asiago.
- Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The two sauces in this recipe are essential for adding flavor to the dish. The marinara sauce should be rich and flavorful, and the Alfredo sauce should be creamy and cheesy. You can use your favorite store-bought sauces or make your own from scratch.
- Don't overcook the ravioli: Ravioli are delicate, so it's important to cook them just until they are heated through. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the oven. The ravioli will become soggy if it sits for too long.
