Why You’ll Love This Recipe
If you’re looking for a delicious, no-fuss dish to feed your family, look no further than this Easy Spinach Ravioli Bake.
I just love that store-bought, refrigerated ravioli. It’s such a great way to start a quick, hearty dinner with minimal effort, and this creamy, cheesy pasta bake is a perfect example.
Plus, there’s spinach–which as far as I’m concerned means this dish is healthy too. Well, sort of. If you don’t think too much about all the creamy sauce and cheese.
But of course, that’s what makes this meal so delicious! And the fact that you can put it together in a out 10 minutes is also a big bonus.
Plus, this is one of the only ways my kids will eat spinach. Normally they wouldn’t touch it, but put it in a delicious pasta casserole and they’ll gobble it up with no complaints.
This recipe also uses jarred Alfredo sauce for convenience. Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of jarred Alfredo sauce, but with the addition of the chicken broth, pesto, and all of that shredded cheese, I could hardly tell this recipe uses store-bought sauce.
Of course, if you prefer, you can always use your favorite homemade Alfredo sauce in this recipe. It will take a little more time, but would absolutely divine.
This pasta bake is also great with some grilled or shredded chicken tucked into the layers of pasta and cheese. You could also add additional vegetables, like mushrooms or bell peppers.
But it’s delicious as is, with just the spinach. Served with a green salad and some crusty bread, it’s a simple, hearty meal that will satisfy everyone in the family.
My family definitely loves this Easy Spinach Ravioli Bake. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as we do!
