Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 c. fresh baby spinach
- 1 1/2 c. marinara sauce
- 1 oz. sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil)
- 3/4 c. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 oz. cheese ravioli
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Put spinach in a colander in the sink. Mix marinara sauce and sun-dried tomatoes together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook just until they float to the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain ravioli over spinach to wilt.
- Add ravioli and spinach to marinara mixture. Lay down enough ravioli to cover the bottom of a 9- by 1 1/2-inch gratin dish (or bake in individual 4 1/2- to 5-inch gratin dishes). Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top. Repeat with remaining ravioli and cheese mixtures, finishing with the cheese on top.
- Bake until hot and bubbly throughout, 10 to 12 minutes.
