Introduction

This Cheesy Alfredo Ravioli Casserole is a comforting and easy-to-make Italian-American dish that combines tender ravioli, creamy Alfredo sauce, and savory chicken. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or casual gathering, it’s layered with cheese and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

• 1 (24-ounce) bag frozen ravioli
• 3 cups Alfredo sauce (jarred or homemade)
• 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread ⅓ of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
2. Step 2: Layer half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce in an even layer.
3. Step 3: Add half of the cooked chicken on top of the ravioli. Sprinkle with half of the Italian seasoning and drizzle another ⅓ of the Alfredo sauce over the chicken.
4. Step 4: Layer the remaining ravioli over the sauce and top with the remaining chicken. Sprinkle with the remaining Italian seasoning and pour the last ⅓ of the Alfredo sauce over everything.
5. Step 5: Cover the casserole with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
6. Step 6: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Let it rest a few minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use spinach or broccoli for a veggie boost—simply layer it in with the chicken.
• Swap cooked sausage or ground beef for chicken to change up the protein.
• If you like it extra cheesy, add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar or provolone on top before baking.
• For a lighter option, use half-and-half or a low-fat Alfredo sauce.
