We originally had this dish at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival this past Fall. It was one of the most popular dishes at the festival. They actually sold out while we were in line, and we had to wait about 10 minutes for more. It was definitely worth the wait. It was SO good. I couldn’t wait to make this at home!
This was incredibly delicious. The sauce is the star of this dish (and all that yummy baked cheese on top). The sauce is easy to make. The hardest part is waiting on it to simmer for an hour!  
I only made one small change to the original recipe. I used a can of petite diced tomatoes instead of dicing two tomatoes on my own. I will definitely be making this again and again. The sauce is my new “go-to” sauce. You can assemble ahead of time and bake later or even freeze it. Make this for your sweetie for Valentine’s Day. They will thank you!

  1. OH MY WORD!!!!! I just recently subscribed to your recipes and could kick myself for not finding you sooner. I just looked at your weekly meal planner and ended up printing 5 recipes. The pictures are very appealing and love the easiness of printing the recipes. Keep up the good work. I will definitely be making these this week 🙂

  2. Will definitely give this a try. I just tried the store bought ravoli and I was impressed how good it was!!!

  3. Just want to make sure this is correct….You used 2 cloves of fresh garlic and 2 Tablespoons of dried garlic?? Should that be dried onions maybe? Sounds like an awful lot of garlic.

  4. Are the dried basil and oregano in this – dried basil and oregano leaves? I have the crushed up seasoning versions and just don't want to use too much. Also, the dried garlic…is that the same as garlic powder? Don't want to go overboard… thank you!

    1. I used the regular crushed dried oregano, basil and garlic powder. What you have is exactly what I used. Enjoy!

    1. I used beef stock because that is what I had on hand. If you use red wine, use one that you enjoy to drink. It will flavor the sauce.
