Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Dice tomatoes into ½-inch pieces. Gently separate ravioli.
-
Coat oven-ready tray with nonstick cooking spray. (For 4 servings, coat both trays.)
-
In prepared tray, combine cream sauce base, pesto, ¼ cup water, and pepper. Add tomatoes and ravioli; stir until coated. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella. (For 4 servings, evenly divide ingredients between two prepared trays, using ¼ cup water per tray.)
-
Lightly coat a large piece of aluminum foil (two large pieces of foil for 4 servings) with nonstick cooking spray. Cover tray tightly with foil, coated side down. Bake on middle rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until ravioli are tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, bake two trays side by side on middle rack.)
-
When ravioli bake is almost done, halve and toast ciabatta until golden brown. Immediately spread with 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4); halve ciabatta on a diagonal.
-
Remove and discard foil from ravioli bake (careful—watch out for steam!). Return to middle rack and continue to bake, uncovered, until cheese is browned, 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
-
Divide ravioli bake between shallow bowls and serve with ciabatta toast on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The pesto-cream sauce combination was a hit with many, delivering rich, fresh flavor; some found the sauce a bit runny and wished for a more concentrated taste.
- Ease of prep: This is one of the most hands-off meals in the lineup — minimal prep and the oven does the work, making it ideal for busy nights.
- Suggestions: Skip the quarter cup of water to keep the sauce from getting too thin; add sautéed spinach and garlic before baking, or top with breadcrumbs for extra texture. Some also found that boiling the ravioli briefly before baking helped achieve a better, more even texture.
- Leftovers: Reheats well and tastes great the next day — one reviewer got three meals out of it by pairing with a side salad.
- Portions: Many felt the ravioli count was too low for two people; consider supplementing with a side salad or extra protein to round out the meal.
Reviews from our home cooks
More like soup. Nothing like photo. Sauce was just runny liquid - not a sauce at all. Was there an error in the recipe? Not sure where the red color on top of ravioli in photo came from.
This meal was restaurant quality. It tasted so good!!! And I loved how easy it was to make. Great job HF chefs!
Very tasty and easy to prepare! It's nice to have a meal ready so quickly. The only con is the side was a piece of bread instead of a side salad. I added a simple salad on the side and will save the bread for another meal.
Love this meal, so quick and tastes great. My husband and I each wish we could have like 2 more ravioli though.
Took a bit longer than I expected to make, but was one of the best HF recipes I've had
So good, easy to do, and warms up nicely in the microwave for an additional lunch!
By supplementing with salad, I was able to get 3 meals out of this one. Easy, quick, delicious.
Easy and delicious! We loved the pesto and creamy sauce combination.
Very tasty and extremely easy. Would definitely like to have this meal again.
Flavors went well together and even reheated it tasted great.
