What You Need To Make Easy White Ravioli Casserole
- cheese ravioli
- pre-cooked sausage crumbles
- baby spinach
- shredded Parmesan cheese
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- Alfredo sauce
My group loves ravioli. There’s just something about those scrumptious stuffed little pasta pockets that they find completely irresistible. And while we usually eat them bathed in marinara, there are those occasions where I like to mix it up and have a little white sauce. When I do, this is my go-to dish- White Ravioli Casserole!
Part lasagna, part pasta bake, this easy dish loaded with comfort food goodness. Gooey melted cheese, al dente pasta, sausage- this is a meal that just says home! But it doesn’t take all day to make! I forego homemade alfredo sauce for a jarred version (they are just so good these days!) and use frozen ravioli and pre-cooked sausage crumbles. Sometimes good food is right at our fingertips; we just have to put it together!
I made this quick dish for some friends we had over the night, and they loved it. It’s because of them that I’m sharing the recipe! There’s nothing better than spending time over a good meal, laughing, sharing memories and making plans to get together again. And if an easy, little shortcut recipe can help us do that, I’ll share again and again.

I have this in the oven right now. Super easy! I hope I wasn’t suppose to thaw the ravioli 🤞🏼
Hi, Jen! How awesome! I love how easy this casserole is, don’t you? No, the ravioli shouldn’t be thawed. It cooks in the sauces while the casserole bakes. YUM!
I have this in the oven now. I cooked the ravioli and browned some Italian sausage. Smells very good 😊
Hi, Dawn! I’m just tickled that you decided to make this. Can’t wait to hear how you enjoyed it!
This is now a family favorite! The prep is so easy, and the tastes are incredible. My husband loves anything with Alfredo in it, and the spinach makes it a healthier option. I used Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles with sausage and bacon and it gave it a nice flavor. Thank you for sharing htis recipe!
Hi, Stacy!
You’ve made my day! I love the idea of the sausage and bacon together. I know that had to be so good! Thank you so much for sharing about this easy recipe!
Do you recommend any other veggies i could hide or sneak in here? I am going to try this with beyond sausage and I was thinking of trying to throw in some frozen peas or broccoli as an extra green…
Hi, Val! What a great idea! Broccoli or zucchini would surely work. If you didn’t mind the veggie not being green, you could try yellow squash and/or carrots. Then, there are mushrooms and tomatoes that fall outside the veggie category, but would make great additions!
