This Ravioli Spinach Bake is like a hassle-free lasagna, and it makes a great meatless dinner the whole family will love! It's so easy you will be happy to make it any night of the week!
Here's a great shortcut to lasagna! I love how easy this dish is, and it is hearty and filling and great comfort food. Plus, it gives me another opportunity to sneak some extra veggies into the kids with the fresh spinach.
Truth be told, it isn't all that sneaky, because you can clearly see the spinach in there. But when it is covered in sauce and cheese, somehow they just eat it without complaining!
This dish feeds my entire family of 2 hungry boys, 1 hungry husband, and me, plus we usually have about 2 servings left over. If you have a bigger or even more hungry family, you can add a side of garlic bread.
If you love ravioli, you have to try it with this delicious lobster ravioli sauce. It's so easy to make and a great way to upgrade your meal!
I usually try to avoid the garlic bread, except as a special treat once in a while (too many carbs for one meal!), but I like to serve a side salad and some steamed broccoli with this.
If you don't have fresh spinach on hand, you can substitute a box of frozen. Just thaw and squeeze out some of the moisture first so you don't wind up with a runny mess in your ravioli.
