Creamy Asiago Ravioli has become one of my favorite dishes to serve. It’s really easy to make, it’s an incredibly delicious recipe, and best of all it’s a total crowd favorite.
Even the pickiest of eaters loves it and they rave about it which is the best thing I can get at dinner time.
While I made this recipe using ravioli since it really packs it with an extra layer of flavor (keep in mind that the ravioli are filled) you can cook it with any other pasta you have on hand. Actually, I have made this with spaghetti, penne, and even elbow pasta because the real magic of this dish is the sauce.
The creamy Asiago sauce…it’s ‘oh my gosh’ good, something to die for! I also use this sauce to top baked chicken and to make casseroles. Because when you have a foolproof recipe that’s as delicious as this one, you basically try to sneak it in anywhere and everywhere.
This recipe also uses ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen like butter, bacon, and garlic. Add a bit of salt and pepper, a bit of basil, thyme, and real asiago cheese and you’ve got yourself the easiest, most delicious Italian sauce recipe!
My only advice would be to undercook the pasta. Let it finish the cooking process in the sauce. This is something really easy that doesn’t take any extra time at all but the pasta will have time to soak up a lot of the sauce flavors.
The end result will be that much more delicious than if you wait and simply put the sauce on top at the end.

I just made this but without the ravioli, I used pre cooked shrimp. Being my mother in law can’t have pasta, I cooked the shrimp in the sauce and then just put the sauce and shrimp on a plate. But for her, she just ate the shrimp and the sauce, but totally loved it! Thank you so much! For another incredible dinner idea!!!
