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.
• 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 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.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was a delicious meal! However it needed some marinara sauce which I added (as well as mushrooms). I don't think the kids would have enjoyed the pesto sauce if the red sauce wasn't added. But that's why I love Hello Fresh and have ordered consistently for years! I love to change things up for our family and make it our own when needed.
I LOVE it so much, just so yummy and flavorful. I only added one tomato because it already has tomato in the ravioli.
The creamy pesto sauce and tomatoes were delicious! I would just add less water.
Very delicious and unique prep method. Also like the new (back to the old) recipe cards
If you want rich comfort food, then this is it! Extra creamy delicious ravioli, highly recommend!
Very good. The addition of the fresh tomatoes really adds to the dish.
Tasty meal but too few ravioli for two people. Should be a dozen. Nine is not enough.
Easy to fix. Good portion. It just wasn't one of the best raviolis that I've gotten here before
The sauce was a bit lacking, but it didn't ruin the dinner overall. I've noticed many HF recipes don't include garlic, which would have made this sauce so much better.
Its just basic, but good. Garlic for the bread and Parmesan for sprinkling on the pasta after the oven would make it great.
