edited September 20 in Recipes
I found a recipe in a magazine and finally tried it last night and it was amazing!!

Ingredients:
1-20 oz bag of cheese ravioli, thawed
1-10 oz box of frozen spinach (thaw and squeeze out the water in a towel)
1 1/4 cup of your choice of spaghetti sauce
2 mozzarella cheese (I used regular but if you want you can use low fat)

Preheat oven to 350°. Spread 1/4 cup of sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish. Then layer 1/2 of the ravioli, the spinach, 1/2 cup of sauce, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, the other half of the ravioli, the rest of the sauce and the rest of the cheese. Top with parmesan cheese. Bake covered for 40 min, then take aluminum off and bake for another 15 min.

    Wow, so simple but sounds pretty good! And I bet if you wanted some meat in it you could mix in some beef ravioli.

    Or 1/2 lb or 1 lb of ground beef or turkey. It was really easy. My 16 year old son made it. He loves to cook so I got all the stuff he needed and he made it. And it's really inexpensive to make too. That's why I made it. We're trying to save money on groceries so I'm making more meatless meals.

    This sounds great. On the cheese is it just slices or cups?

    I love making this and do it all the time! One thing I do differently - I throw everything into the biggest bowl I have and stir it all together. I don't thaw anything ( I buy frozen chopped spinach in a bag) and I dump it into a pan and bake it until it is bubbly. Just remember, it is going to take a while to bake! MMMMMMmmmmmmMM!

    Made this tonight with fresh spinach--probably better to use frozen because you can fit more spinach between the pasta layers. Nonetheless, it was *really* good!

    Use a big pan - 13 x 9! This has been my favorite way to sneak spinach into my kids diet!

    This sounds delicious. If I can find some whole wheat ravioli I will eat some, if not I will feed it to my extremely picky grandsons and husband. :drinker:

    I will definitely try this. I have been trying to find more ways to incorporate spinach into my diet. Mission Accomplished!

    I used to make this a LOT. For some reason I stopped. I think I need to start again! One tip, for all the parents out there: I would have my kids (2 and 4 at the time) help me make this. They are more than capable of putting the raviolis in the pan, putting the spinach on and sprinkling cheese. I didn't let them put the sauce on, but older kids would be able to do that. Makes for a fun time with the kids, and a delicious dinner!

    I just went shoppong and chenged my version up a bit.

    I have a bag of 19 oz Safeway Asparagus Ravioli since they were on sale and lower in calories than the cheese which came in a 25 oz bag. (1000 cals)

    I bought a bag of skim Italian 4 cheese blend and am only going to use 1.5 cups (540 cals)

    I like extra sauce so I havea 26.5 oz can of spaghetti sauce (300 cals)

    And 10 oz of spinach (88 cals)

    For a grand total of 1928 calories @ 241 per serving.

    I will let you know if it comes out as good as the original version or not.

    Veggie ravioli??? who knew!! Certainly not I, do they make spinach ravioli? Sad to say I haven't had ravioli since the days of the canned variety and that was like 100 years ago, yes 100 years ago!:ohwell:
