How to make baked ravioli

  1. Creamy spinach sauce: Sauté an onion until soft and translucent then add chopped spinach and crushed garlic. You could use frozen spinach too. Thaw the spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible before adding to the pan. Cook until the spinach has wilted then add cream and cornstarch mixed with milk to thicken. Season with salt, pepper and fresh lemon juice and add grated Parmesan cheese.
  2. Assemble the baked ravioli: Layer the creamy spinach sauce with shop-bought ravioli (cheese ravioli works perfectly here). There’s no need to pre-cook the ravioli, they will cook in the sauce in the oven. If using frozen ravioli, allow longer baking time. Top with grated mozzarella/cheddar then bake in a hot oven until golden brown on top and bubbling.

How long to bake ravioli

Shop-bought fresh ravioli requires approximately 10-15 minutes of baking in a hot oven. If you’re using frozen ravioli, extend the baking time with 10-15 minutes to ensure the ravioli is cooked through.

    Hi! I’m just a little bit confused. Is the calories listed for one serving or is that the calories for the whole thing. I’m guessing it’s for one serving but I just want to make sure.

    It looks like you added an herb after baking. Did you sprinkle fresh basil on top?

      No, that’s just flat leaf parsley.

    I’m using dry tortellini. Should I boil them first?

      Yes, give them a quick parboil before combining with the sauce.

    I just made CREAMY SPINACH BAKED RAVIOLI and my daughter went back for seconds! Thank you. I was just wondering if the nutritional information is based on one serving. I’m trying to behave myself and I just want to see if I can make room for a piece. Lol

    You don’t have to pre cook the ravioli?

      You could if you wanted, but I found they cooked perfectly in the sauce while baking.

    Absolutely delicious, and very easy to make. I used ravioli filled with ricotta and sundried tomatoes, and the flavours were so good together. Thanks for a really good recipe!
