Pasta might as well be an entire food group for Team Delish. We'll take seconds (and thirds) of baked pasta, bowls of noodle soup, and even just classic spaghetti with meatballs. But one thing is for sure: Ravioli reigns supreme as one of our favorite pastas of all. There's so many possibilities (pastabilities?)! You can add this cheesy stuffed pasta to soups, make it into a makeshift lasagna, or even build a shakshuka around it. So grab your rolling pin (or your favorite store-bought ravioli) and try out all our easiest, cheesiest ravioli recipes ever.
Bit intimidated by the idea of making fresh homemade pasta for your ravioli? Don't be! We've tried all the best pasta makers you can buy, but luckily tons of these recipes require only store-bought noodles, like our air-fryer ravioli, ravioli lasagna bake, and one-pan ravioli shakshuka. They're just as delicious as any of our homemade pasta recipes, promise. Though we can't lie and say we aren't absolutely obsessed with our pumpkin ravioli and butternut squash ravioli recipes. Also, we have to admit we cut a few corners when we created our homemade lobster ravioli recipe. (Hint: It involves wonton wrappers.)
Become a real pasta pro by trying all of our easy weeknight-friendly pasta recipes. If you're into the classics, look no further than our classic Italian pasta recipes. We've even got tons of shrimp pasta recipes, chicken pasta recipes, and plenty of penne pasta recipes.
Butternut Squash Ravioli
Putting in the elbow grease for these squash ravioli will make you feel like a true chef, and the pasta will taste 10x better just knowing you made it from scratch. A homemade pasta is no easy feat, but trust us, it's 100% worth it.

Pumpkin Ravioli
These autumnal ravioli may not be quick or easy, but they're SO delicious. Give yourself an afternoon to prepare them, or make the pasta dough the night before so you have half the work done already!

Lobster Ravioli
For this version of lobster ravioli, wonton wrappers are used instead of pasta dough. We know that it's hardly Italian traditon, but we wanted to make this easy for you. And guess what… they're so darn delicious. The wonton wrappers are so tender and light that you really only taste the decadent lobster filling. If you want actual pasta-encased lobster ravioli, then our pasta dough is great; otherwise, we promise you’re going to make these over and over again.

One-Pan Ravioli Shakshuka
Traditional shakshuka has runny eggs that have simmered in the warmly spiced tomato sauce, but in this version, we traded out the eggs for ravioli, and it's every bit as satisfying. It's the perfect version for dinner, and honestly, the pasta is a lot easier than stressing over getting that egg perfectly runny. Serve it with some crusty bread for swiping in the sauce, and you have the coziest weeknight dinner in about 30 minutes.

Air Fryer Ravioli
Crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, these little air-fryer ravioli are like a slightly more sophisticated mozzarella stick. Thanks to the ingenious design of the air fryer, you can get that delightfully crispy, poppable texture of toasted ravioli without the grease. The key to the crunchy coating is first dipping the pasta in an egg-milk mixture, followed by a roll around in Parmesan and bread crumbs. Dunked in pesto, the result is next to impossible to put down.

Toasted Ravioli
We're obsessed with ravioli, but most of the time we admit that the four pieces you get as a serving aren't filling enough. That's why it makes the perfect app. Breaded and fried, it's so fun to eat ravioli with your hands and dipping it in plenty of marinara. Bonus! Toasted ravioli works in the air fryer too, meaning you can skip all of the oil for an even more perfect appetizer.

Zucchini Ravioli
Zoodles can stand in for SO much more than spaghetti—these rival our favorite ravioli recipes, particularly during the summer when we crave meals that are a bit lighter.

Ravioli Lasagna
Italian night is just so better when your two favorite pasta dishes are combined. In this case, we layer meat sauce, store-bought ravioli, and tons of melty mozzarella with ricotta.

Fresh Pasta Dough
Want to make your own ravioli? Pasta night absolutely deserves a special homemade pasta. Making your own dough takes a bit of time, but the process itself isn't complicated. The dough is made from three basic ingredients and comes together in minutes.

Skillet Ravioli Lasagna with Spicy Italian Sausage
This cheater's lasagna is genius: You start with simmering marinara in a skillet, add ravioli and cooked sausage, and top it off with cheese for a melty one-pot meal.

Dessert Ravioli
How genius is this method?! You can fill these "ravioli" with all sorts of things, from fruit fillings to peanut butter and chocolate. We chose Nutella because we're obsessed with it.

Chicken Enchilada Ravioli Bake
Why choose between Mexican and Italian when you don't have to? We took all the goodness of chicken enchiladas with pre-made ravioli to bring you an easy, cheesy meal that everyone will love.

Ravioli With Mushroom Cream Sauce
This ravioli is easy to make and delightfully creamy. The secret ingredient in the cream sauce is walnuts, which adds body and earthy flavor to the dish. Remember to reserve some of the pasta water for the cream sauce. The salt and leftover starch (which is why it looks cloudy) works as a thickener to makes for a silky smooth sauce. Toss it with your favorite store-bought ravioli—we chose cheese—and spinach for the perfect weeknight dinner.

Spinach Artichoke Ravioli Bake
Move over, lasagna. There's more than one baked cheesy pasta on the scene. Store-bought ravioli goes deluxe layered in a creamy spinach-artichoke sauce and, yes, more cheese.

Pasta pro-tip: Pan-frying stuffed pasta gives it an irresistible golden crust and adds a nutty flavor to this incredibly easy one-pot meal!
