• 2 cups fresh baby spinach (or frozen, thawed and drained)
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Tools You’ll Need

• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Mixing bowl (optional)
• Foil for covering
• Spatula or serving spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2: Assemble the Bake

Add a thin layer of sauce to the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer in half of the ravioli (straight from the fridge or freezer).
Top with half of the spinach, half the remaining sauce, and half the mozzarella.
Repeat the layers with the rest of the ravioli, spinach, sauce, and cheese.
Sprinkle Parmesan and Italian seasoning over the top.

Step 3: Bake

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden on top.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Top with fresh basil if you’re feeling fancy. Serve with garlic bread or a simple green salad.

Tips for the Best Ravioli Bake

• No Need to Boil – You can use frozen or fresh ravioli straight from the package.
• Customize It – Try sausage or spinach ravioli, or add sliced mushrooms or zucchini.
• Make It Creamy – Add a splash of cream or dollops of ricotta for a richer version.
• Double Up – Make one for now, freeze one for later.

Serving Suggestions

• With garlic bread or breadsticks
• Tossed green salad or Caesar salad
• A glass of red wine (Chianti or Cab Sav!)
• Roasted veggies on the side for balance

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezing:
Assemble the dish, cover tightly, and freeze before baking. Bake straight from frozen at 375°F for 45–50 minutes (covered), then uncover for the last 10–15 minutes.
