Well, I made as is with the exception of the spinach (forgot to get it). I hesitated with the salt, seemed like a lot, but decided to just go for it....WRONG. It was actually pretty good and easy to make, but WAYYYY TOO MUCH SALT. Smelled great while cooking, very easy to make, but did I mention that there was too much salt?

Love this recipe. If you have picky eaters with vegetables, try processing them in a blender or food processor. This makes a thicker sauce and hides the vegies. My picky grandaughter loves this and she "Hates tomatoes and spinach". Since I don't cook with salt, I used 1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder and a small pinch of cumin and Italian seasoning and put in the food processor with the tomatoes and spinach. If you don't cook the ravioli you can put in frozen and just add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to the sauce. Comes out of the oven really yummy

This was a big hit. I used ground chicken and got a bag of tex mex instead of getting both mozzarella and cheddar. I think I just added all of my ingredients (all of the chicken, all of the ravioli and all of the cheese... just eyeball it. you can't really mess it up). I made this for four people and ended up with enough for seconds and leftovers.

Just too darn salty! I as hopeful, since I had all the ingredients on hand and wanted to finish off what was left of a large bag of cheese ravioli. I even reduced the salt by 1/4 tsp. But obviously that wasn't reduced nearly enough. Otherwise, the recipe is just OK. The sauce is very thin. It smelled great while cooking, but was disappointing in the end.

This was a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It's not something I would serve to company, but it's definitely good comfort food when you're short on time and ingredients.

Made this last night and thought it was delish! I had read previous reviews so I didn't add salt and substituted italian sausage for ground beef. Hubby loved it-will make again!

Substituted ground turkey for ground beef, tortellini with Ravioli, and forgot the Parmesan cheese, but everything was fine, save for one problem - the recipe only provided enough sauce for basically one and a half layers. I'd recommend doubling the amount of diced tomatoes, and possibly cooking them in a saucepan instead of a skillet.

Most Helpful Critical Review? I think Sharon would fess up to having not made this recipe if confronted by friends or family, given her statement below: "Also, at a glance I can see that this recipe would be much better with a chunky Marinara sauce instead of diced tomatoes". I like her statement about Salt, but don't think it should be rated a 3 star if she didn't even try it. If you did try it Sharon, my apologies. But since you would have used Marinara per your comments, why only a 3 Star? I'm not big on Salt and know there's a good amount of salt in cheese, so I didn't use the suggested amount. Good Recipe & thanks for posting!
