Wow, this sounds sooo good right now. I don’t know what it is about the winter, but I tend to crave heavier, hot dishes around this time. During the summer I usually crave salads. What I really like about gluten-free ravioli (I’m not a celiac but I am gluten-free because I think it’s better for you) is that it leaves you feeling lighter than when you have stuff with gluten in it. I mean, I just feel sooo much better after eating gluten free ravioli than when I have the regular stuff! Especially now that I’ve been off gluten for so long it really seems noticeable when I have gluten-containing items because I just don’t feel that good afterwards–lethargic, heavy, bloated, etc.
I just wanted to say I’m a fairly new reader of your blog and it’s now bookmarked as one of my favorites! I love so many of your recipes and your reviews are done with care and the video reviews are very interesting to watch and I can tell you care very much about the subject. Thank you for all you do, Ms. Turbin. I am also going to get one of your children’s books for Christmas at dannythedragon.com (for those of you who didn’t know Tina is a children’s author too!).
I was wondering if anyone knows of any good dairy substitutes in ravioli? Unfortunately it looks like I have a pretty bad intolerance to milk now, but I really love ravioli! Maybe something nutty could serve as a replacement?
Hi Tina thanks for including so many Italian recipes. I really miss the Italian food I ate before I went gluten-free, but thanks to recipes like these I’m able to find pretty good substitutes. Cielo is really a great brand too.
Dairy free options please! It’s so hard to have Italian food when you’re dairy free! AH!
This is one of those foods I was spending WAY too much money on before so I stopped buying it and resolved to try making it but I just haven’t thought about it. You’ve jogged my memory now and it’s time that I give it a try. Who knows? It might turn out really well!
Sounds good but my one complaint is why TURKEY sausage? Blah! So many gluten free recipes have turkey stuff, but from what I understand this stuff is just as processed. I’m going to make this recipe with REAL sausage-yum!
I finally got around to eating this and it came out great!!!!!! I’m adding this to The List–that is, the list of gluten-free recipes I’ve tried that have “made the cut” and that I’ll make every now and then.
A definite classic you have to have under your belt–gluten-free ravioli. Once I made this for my kids and husband, none of whom are celiac like me, they finally relented and agreed to go totally gluten free with me!
I used real sausage and doubled the garlic (because I love sausage and garlic!!!) and it turned out GREAT! Five star gluten free recipe. I was really, really impressed.
This was great! I am going to make it with your other fillings. Next up…sweet potato. 🙂
