If you’re wondering what to serve with your toasted ravioli, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article, I list 33 of the most popular side dishes for toasted ravioli.
In a rush? Here’s the short answer.
The best dishes to serve with toasted ravioli are Caesar salad, steak au poivre, pesto roasted veggies, tomato soup, and focaccia pizza. For game-day or party food options, go with baked buffalo chicken wings or wonton mozzarella sticks.
Ready? Let’s jump right in.
Pesto roasted veggies
Tired of plain old roasted veggies? Brighten them up by tossing them with some pesto and olive oil before roasting.
The veggies will absorb all the herby goodness from the pesto, ensuring each bite will be filled with flavor.
Psst… this recipe recommends broiling the vegetables for two minutes at the end to make them extra crisp.
Why we love this recipe: there’s very little hands-on cooking involved.

Want to turn your toasted ravioli into the ultimate comfort meal?

Just imagine dipping your cheesy ravioli into the soup’s thick, sweet, and tangy broth – simply delightful.
And you only need 25 minutes to cook a batch.

Baked buffalo chicken wings
Serving toasted ravioli for a game-day party? Complete your spread with these buffalo chicken wings.
The key to getting extra crispy baked wings is using baking powder in the coating.
The baking powder will combine with the juices from the chicken and form bubbles, which harden and crisp up as the wings cook.
Why we love this recipe: they’re great for feeding a hungry crowd.

Tomato salad
This salad is a must-try, especially when tomatoes are in season.
It’s simple, but the combination of sweet, juicy tomatoes, onions, fresh basil, and a tart balsamic vinegar is delightful.
You can also add cucumbers or leafy greens to the salad, but I think it’s perfect as is.
Psst… try chopping the tomatoes smaller for a bruschetta-style topping for your toasted ravioli.
Why we love this recipe: a serving only has 109 calories.

Focaccia pizza
This recipe combines two Italian favorites into one tasty treat.
The focaccia crust is lighter and more airy than your usual pizza crust, and when it comes to toppings you can keep it simple (like this recipe) or go crazy and load it up!
Pair this pizza with a toasted ravioli for the ultimate Italian-inspired feast.
Why we love this recipe: it’s super easy to customize.

Steak au poivre
Toasted ravioli makes for a great appetizer before the main event.
And if you’re feeling fancy why not go out all with steak au poivre.
Au poivre simply means ‘lots of pepper’, which describes this dish to a tee!
You’ve got a pepper-crusted steak, with a peppery pan sauce that’s thickened with fat from the steak. Delicious!
Psst… try dipping your toasted ravioli in the luscious sauce.
Why we love this recipe: it’s restaurant-worthy.

Wonton mozzarella sticks
These crispy treats are another game-day must-have alongside your toasted ravioli.
Instead of a panko breadcrumb coating, the string cheese sticks are wrapped in wonton wrappers and deep-fried, giving you an extra crunchy bite.
Psst… these would also go great with marinara sauce.
Why we love this recipe: they’re highly addictive.

Caesar salad
The most important part of a caesar salad is the dressing.
You could buy it in your local grocery store, but it’s SO much better when you make it at home from scratch.
Pro tip: don’t skip the anchovies… they add so much depth of flavor.

Why we love this recipe: it’s great for light lunches.

Baked Italian turkey meatballs
Meatballs are usually made with beef, but have you ever used ground turkey?
It has less calories and saturated fats, making it an excellent diet-friendly alternative.
And this recipe makes them even healthier by skipping the breadcrumbs and using ricotta and parmesan cheese as a binder instead.
Why we love this recipe: these are great as appetizers or as a main dish.

Garlic sauteed spinach
Sauteed spinach is one of the quickest, easiest, and healthiest side dishes you can make.
It’s perfect when you’re in a rush or feel like you need to add some sort of last minute vegetable to the plate!
I always have a bag in my fridge for that exact reason.
Why we love this recipe: you only need 5 minutes to make it.

Kale salad with parmesan and pine nuts
This is my favorite winter salad. The kale is massaged with the dressing to help tenderize it.
While the parmesan cheese, capers, and pine nuts bring a mix of salty and earthy flavors that pair well with the tangy dressing.
You can enjoy this salad alone, but I especially like tossing in some toasted ravioli to make this more substantial.
Why we love this recipe: it looks plain but packs a flavorful punch.
