• Cook the ravioli until al dente, 1 to 2 minutes less than the package cooking time. Drain and pat dry. Toss the ravioli in a large bowl with the eggs, olive oil, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Arrange the ravioli on the sheet pan in a single layer with only the edges overlapping. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan.
• Bake the ravioli until golden brown and the tops and bottoms are crisp, about 25 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Spread the pizza sauce on the ravioli crust. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Top with the sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper, mushrooms, onion and ham. Broil until the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Scatter the basil over the top before serving.

CHEESE PIZZA SHORTCUT RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Lay out a few wonton wrappers at a time. Place 1/2 teaspoon marinara in the center of each wrapper, then top each with a tablespoon of mozzarella, a pinch of Parmesan and Italian seasoning. Dab your finger in a little water and run it along the edge of one wrapper, then lay a second wrapper on top, lining up the edges as much as possible and gently pressing out any air bubbles. Set aside while you work on the rest.
• Use a 2 1/2-inch round pastry cutter to trim each ravioli into a neat round.
• Drop the ravioli into the boiling water in two batches (you want them to have plenty of room). Stir gently with a spoon so they do not stick together. Let cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a platter. Cook the remaining ravioli in the same manner.
• Spoon a little marinara sauce on each plate and lay 4 to 6 ravioli on top. Spoon more marinara sauce over the ravioli. Garnish with the fresh basil leaves and the remaining Parmesan, then serve.
