Braces-Friendly Recipe: Baked Ravioli Pasta

Back in November, we shared our first braces-friendly recipe – the berry smoothie. Smoothies are a great option for a delicious meal in a glass – especially after getting your braces on and/or adjusted. This month, we turn to more of a complete meal recipe that is a great fit for family dinners. Introducing our baked ravioli pasta recipe!

Note the following ingredients:

• 1 – 1(1/2) pound of frozen raviolis
• 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
• a cup of shredded parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400; lightly grease a 9×13 casserole dish
• In the dish, carefully mix water, diced tomatoes, and paste sauce together; make sure it completely covers the bottom of the dish
• Place one layer of pasta on top, followed by one cup of mozzarella on top of that; then add one more layer of pasta followed by the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese
• Bake for 45 minutes
• Serve with parsley as garnish
