Baked Ravioli Caprese (Gluten Free)
This caprese ravioli recipe is made with gluten free pasta and breadcrumbs for an easy-on-the-gut dinner that's still super cozy and gives you all the warming pasta night feels.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic whole
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Italian herbs
- 1 ½ cups marinara sauce or crushed tomatoes
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pack 20 oz / 500 g package gluten free ravioli (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- ½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Bocconcini or diced mozzarella balls
- 1 tablespoon basil pesto optional
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves torn or sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
- Cook the tomatoes: In the skillet, add a little olive oil and the tomatoes. Saute until soft and caramelised, remove the tomatoes from the skillet.
- Make base sauce: Add some more olive oil to the same skillet and add the garlic clove. Flavor the oil with the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove or keep the clove. Add the marinara and simmer for a few minutes. Add the tomato paste and Italian herbs and cook for a minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add a little chicken broth to thin the sauce out a little and flavor it. Add the cream and turn off the heat.
- Cook the ravioli: Boil the ravioli in salted water for 2 to 3 minutes less than package instructions (they’ll finish cooking in the oven). Drain well.
- Assemble: Add the ravioli to the marinara sauce and turn the pasta in the sauce so its fully coated. If the sauce isn't enough, add more chicken broth and cream. Add the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and basil pesto. Tear the basil and fold it in.
- Add topping: Combine the Parmesan and gluten free bread crumbs and top the ravioli caprese skillet with them.
- Bake: Cover the caprese ravioli loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the topping is golden.
- Serve: Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
