Primavera Ravioli Bake

September 16, 2009

You can tell from my last few entries that I was really into one-dish meals that are easy to whip together. With frozen ravioli, frozen broccoli, and a jar of alfredo, there wasn’t too much heavy lifting on this Primavera Ravioli Bake. The recipe calls for sausage filled ravioli, but I opted for the cheese filled.

So, how’s it taste?

Yech! I was really looking forward to this dish. It has all the ingredients I like, but it is so bland. I had to add salt to my serving. The dish should be savory, but had a sweet taste to it. I’m not sure if it was my alfredo sauce or what. I used Newman’s Own, which I had never tried before. It tasted fine when I sampled it before dumping it into the dish. I’m not sure what you could do to spice it up a bit, so I will not be making this one again.
