Baked Ravioli with Spinach and Mushrooms

Baked Ravioli with Spinach and Mushrooms is my definition of the ultimate comfort food. Not to mention, I love how relatively simple this dish can be.

I like to add spinach and mushrooms to this dish to make it a little heartier. But if you want to keep this dish super simple and just use cheese and sauce without the other accompaniments you can easily do that. You can also use other types of ingredients such as “beef” crumbles or other veggies such shredded carrots or kale. Or you could even top this dish with veggie meatballs or veggie pepperoni to make it a bit more fun. It’s totally up to you and that’s why I love this dish so much.

For the ravioli, I use smaller sized fresh cheese ravioli’s for this dish, but you can use whatever flavor ravioli that you choose. There’s so many different kinds out now days. You can also use the same amount (weight) of fresh cheese tortellini’s. They are a great substitution, if you’d like to swap those out. Now, this dish comes together rather easily and I did a short reel on Instagram on how to make it. So, if you’d like to have a look, click here.

Here’s a few ways to freestyle this recipe:

• use kale or sautéed swiss chard instead of spinach
• use hearty pasta noodles or even tortellini instead of ravioli
• use plant-based “ground beef” instead of mushrooms
• use homemade sauce instead of store-bought sauce

Here are some other additions and ideas to consider:

• stir in a dollop of basil pesto
• add sautéed carrots or zucchini
• add blanched broccoli or peas

Are there ways to veganize this recipe???

Yes! To make vegan, use vegan ravioli, meltable vegan mozzarella cheese shreds, and vegan parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

• a good drizzle of olive oil, extra-virgin
• 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
• ½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning, optional, if your sauce already has herbs in it
• 24 ounces marinara sauce, jarred or homemade
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 20 ounces cheese ravioli, found in the refrigerated section of grocery store
• 4 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping

Optional Topping:

• fresh basil, torn

Equipment

• 9×13 or 3 quart baking dish
• Cutting Board
• Chef's Knife
• Grater or Microplane

Instructions

• Arrange a shelf on the top third of the oven and pre-heat to 375 degrees.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add in the mushrooms and onions and sauté until the vegetables have softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and dried Italian herb seasoning and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Stir in the marinara sauce, a ½ cup of water (if using jarred sauce...I like to pour the water into the jar and swish it around to get the rest of the sauce in the jar and then pour it in), salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Taste and add more seasoning, if needed.
• In a 9×13 or 3 quart baking dish, add in a cup of sauce as the first layer. Next, add a layer of ravioli (half of your ravioli), like pictured above. Add the layer of spinach, a half cup of sauce, and then 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Next, add the remaining ravioli, sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Top with the freshly grated parmesan cheese. Be sure to cover all ravioli with the sauce and cheese.
• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven, and remove the foil. Return the dish to the oven uncovered. Bake until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden, about 20 more minutes. (If you'd like the top to be slightly more browned on top, then place it under the broiler for a minute or two.)
• Serve in bowls or plates and shower with fresh basil and parmesan cheese, if desired.

  Enjoy!
