RAVIOLI PIZZA RECIPE
This fun pizza is made with a unique ravioli crust thanks to Buitoni Four Cheese Ravioli Refrigerated Pasta. Then, it's topped with Rao's Marinara sauce that adds an authentic Italian flavor. If you haven't tried their sauces yet, you don't want to miss them. They remind me of the slow-cooked sauce my mom would make on special occasions when I was a kid. Such a delish dash of nostalgia.
RAVIOLI PIZZA INGREDIENTS
Just a handful of ingredients are needed to make this fun take on pizza. You will most likely have most of them on hand already.
Buitoni Four Cheese Ravioli Refrigerated Pasta – This is the perfect base for a nice cheesy pizza. It makes for the pizza crust you never knew you were missing with perfectly cheesy pillowy tops.
Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce - Give authentic flavor to any dish with this rich and full-bodied sauce. It's the perfect dinner staple to keep on hand.
Olive Oil - will help give some authentic flavor and create the perfect non-stick solution for our pizza.
Egg - is going to help us keep the ravioli crust together perfectly. You won't even believe this magic.
Milk - just a few splashes will help us to get the crust, crusty.
Sea Salt - will help make our ravioli pizza crust flavors pop even more.
Garlic Powder - what is an Italian-inspired dish without extra garlic flavor? We will also use this to make the crust stand out.
Grated Cheese – This is another binder that will keep our pizza crust, crusty.
Shredded Cheese – One of my fav parts of eating pizza is no doubt the cheese. To make this epic, I used both mozzarella and sharp cheddar. You can choose your own favorites.
Veggies – Your choice of veggies such as black olives, sliced green peppers, mushrooms, diced onions. The cheese ravioli crust is so versatile and will work with all your pizza cravings. Try ALL the combos!
HOW TO MAKE RAVIOLI PIZZA
Pick up some of your favorite Buitoni Ravioli as the pizza base and a bottle of Rao’s Marinara Sauce and get ready to make this delicious dinner creation that your family will be excited to try.
While the oven is heating, we will make our egg mixture to help us bind the ravioli crust. In a medium bowl, whisk egg, milk, grated cheese, salt and garlic powder together until blended.
Coat a half baking sheet with olive oil and then closely layer your prepared al dente ravioli to cover the entire sheet.
Then pour the egg mixture over the top and use a food brush to ensure every bit is covered.
This goes into the oven for 15-17 minutes until the edges just start to brown and the egg mixture has firmed. Once that is done, we’re going to be lowering the oven temperature.
Next, spoon your Rao’s Marinara Sauce covering the entirety of the top of the ravioli crust leaving the perimeter empty for that classic crust vibe.
Follow the sauce with your cheese, spread it evenly over the top.
Finally, it’s time to load up on your choice of toppings. I loved adding mini pepperoni and a big variety of veggies. Pick your favorites!
Once your toppings are loaded on, it’s time to bake again at the reduced temperature to cook the toppings and get that cheese all melty.
Once it’s done, let it cool, cut and serve.
As an added garnish, if you like, add a bit of fresh parsley or basil.
Pairs perfectly with a big salad.
