Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cheese ravioli
- 250 grams Broccoli florets
- 150 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light layer of olive oil and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same pot of boiling water, add the cheese ravioli and cook according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the ravioli and set aside.
Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to form a smooth paste. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and reserved pasta water. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ravioli, cooked broccoli, spinach, and the creamy sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella cheese, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Ravioli Baked with Broccoli and Spinach!
