Can you use frozen ravioli in foil packs?

Definitely! Frozen ravioli works perfectly—no need to thaw or boil beforehand. Just place them directly in the foil and add an extra 3 to 5 minutes to the cooking time to ensure they're heated through and tender.

How long do you cook foil pack ravioli in the oven or grill?

In the oven, bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes. On the grill, cook over medium heat for 15–20 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Always check that the cheese is melted and the ravioli is tender.

What sauce works best with foil pack ravioli?

Marinara is a classic choice, but creamy Alfredo, pesto, vodka sauce, or arrabbiata all work well. It depends on your preference. Use a sauce that matches the ravioli filling for the best results.

Can I make foil pack ravioli ahead of time and refrigerate it?

Absolutely. You can assemble foil packs up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate them. They’re great for meal prepping or make-ahead dinners—just pop them into the oven or grill when ready.

Instructions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (or prepare grill to medium heat). Cut foil sheets into 12–16 inch pieces.
Assemble Foil Packs: Lightly brush foil center with olive oil. Layer 2 tablespoons sauce, a few ravioli, more sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, and any add-ins. Repeat for each pack.
Seal Packets: Fold foil over filling, crimping edges to seal completely and form a pouch.
Cook: Place foil packs on a baking sheet (or directly on grill). Bake for 20–25 minutes or grill for 15–20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Serve: Carefully open packs (watch for steam). Garnish with basil or parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Frozen ravioli can be used directly—no need to thaw. Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing, especially on the grill. For a browned top, broil foil packs open for the last 2 minutes. Store uncooked packs in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking.
