Spinach Tomato Ravioli Bake is creamy, cheesy, and incredibly easy to prepare – the perfect meal for those busy weeknights!
Lasagna is one of my favorite dishes but it can take some time to prepare. Ravioli lasagna is a great way to enjoy the flavors of the lasagna in a fraction of the time!
Inspired to add more greens to my meals, I came up with this Spinach Tomato Ravioli Bake recipe that is sure to be a family favorite. This is pure comfort food right here. With only 5 simple ingredients and about 5 minutes of prep, family dinners don’t get much better!
What ingredients do you need to make Spinach Tomato Ravioli Bake?
- Store bought or homemade marinara sauce can be used in this recipe.
- The best part about this recipe is that you can use any type of ravioli (fresh or frozen). I wanted to keep this a meatless dish so I used four-cheese filled ravioli, but feel free to use any other filling you like.
- Fresh baby spinach is one of those ingredients I always have in my fridge. You can also use frozen spinach, just make sure it is thawed and well drained before adding to the casserole.
- The combination of shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan gives it that cheesy flavor you get from baked lasagna. A shredded Italian cheese blend also works here.
All this is baked in a casserole until nice and bubbly – so easy and satisfying!
Can you freeze the assembled casserole?
Yes! This is the perfect meal that you can prep in advance and keep it stashed in the freezer until you’re ready to bake it. To do so, assemble the casserole according to the recipe, and cover tightly with foil before placing the unbaked casserole in the freezer.
To serve, remove from the freezer (no need to thaw it), and bake in the oven until the center is heated through and bubbly. You might need to add a few more minutes to the cooking time.
Dump and bake meals like this Spinach Tomato Ravioli Bake make home-cooked dinners a breeze. And best of all? It’s a dish that the kids will actually want to eat!
I sneak in some spinach in the dish which means that you get a complete dinner in one pan. If you’re not a fan of spinach, you can also add in some peas, sliced mushrooms, or zucchini.
