Chipotle Ravioli Bake


This ravioli is not only super easy to make, but it takes common ingredients. What could be better than that? Oh I know, it tastes wonderful!


This ravioli has a nice chipotle flavor to it without being too spicy. My kids not only ate it, but said it was "very good". My youngest actual picked this dish out for her special birthday dinner.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
