Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Cheese-filled spinach ravioli
- 24 ounces Marinara sauce
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the spinach ravioli according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. If using, add the crushed red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom.
Layer half of the cooked ravioli on top of the sauce. Spread half of the wilted spinach over the ravioli, followed by 1 cup of marinara sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, spinach, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer of mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
